From Publishers Weekly
This jolly series debut from the husband-and-wife Lavene team serves up medieval murder and mayhem. USC doctoral candidate Jessie Morton studies medieval crafts every summer at Columbia, S.C.'s Renaissance Faire Village. While working with basket weaver Mary Shift, Jessie gets a shock when Mary's estranged husband, Joshua, is murdered in broad daylight. She quickly learns the actors at the Faire may be hiding more than their mundane lives. Jessie is certain that Mary is innocent of the murder, but also suspects the old weaver knows more than she's revealing. The situation becomes more complicated as secrets from Mary's turbulent past comes to light. Faire bailiff Chase Manhattan (whose hilarious name goes oddly unremarked) occasionally distracts Jessie with the promise of summer romance, but her focus is on solving the mystery. Fans of the Lavenes' Peggy Garden mysteries will appreciate Jessie's charm and determination as she sets out to clear her teacher's name. (Sept.)

Could be better
By Rushmore
As someone who annually visited the local Renaissance Faire in my younger days, I thought it would be fun to read about it from an insider's point of view. Indeed, the conceit of living the Renaissance life 24/7 is the best part of the story. Unfortunately, the writing is rather clunky and it's hard to care whodunit. However, the atmosphere and details are fun. Not a total waste of time, but a bit of a disappointment.

Only Okay
By Wiffee
Not the worst book I have read but certainly not the best. There were some portions of the book that I loved and some that irritated the mess out of me. The setting is unique and vividly described. I completely enjoyed being immersed in Renaissance Village and would love to visit a similar place. The characters, however, need some serious work. There are inconsistencies everywhere and the only character who seems to behave the same way all the time is Chase. The main character, Jessie, keeps flip-flopping on who she thinks the murderer is and seems to forget that just a couple of pages before she suspected someone and is suddenly surprised to discover herself suspecting them. Also, she's kind of a flake and seems really immature, often getting mad with no real explanation of why. Other characters also blow hot and cold for no apparent reason, would it kill the authors to spend as much time on character development (and actually sharing that with the readers) as they did on world building. I'm also confused about the whole king and queen rule in the village, is it 24 hours a day? Because it sure seems like it.
The editing on this book was also just awful! Aren't editors supposed to catch plot holes and inconsistencies?
I likely will read the next book in the series if I can get it from my swap site, but unless they find a new editor and flesh out the characters more (and make their actions make sense) I probably won't spend any more money on these books.

Choppy with Bad Editing
By Cherrie Redd
I really like these cute quick read mystery books, and this book had potential, but fell a little short of keeping my attention in a steady manner. Told in the first person, it was a little confusing in areas, and choppy. There were places where the characters' conversations really made no sense. One example of this is that the main character, a woman named Jessie, has a twin brother who constantly borrows money from her. In one "scene" she and two others are sitting in the Renaissance Village cafe and the brother comes in, already owing her $100, and asks her for another $20 for a date he has. Jessie becomes embarrassed and flat out denies him anymore funds. The brother gets irritated and Jessie's "love interest" spots him the $20 to shut him up. Afterward, Jessie and her beau leave the cafe and the beau proceeds to tell her how he understands and that her brother just needs to be more responsible and learn to stand on his own two feet. Did I mention Jessie and her brother are in their 30s? This completely contradicts the fact that the beau just loaned him money which he will probably never see again! There are several of these examples throughout the book which to some may seem minor, but leave me shaking my head.
Another issue I have with the book is there is a constant sexual tension or insinuation in almost every interaction that does not deal directly with the mystery storyline. Okay, she's hot for this guy, we get it. It really doesn't add to the plot, and they overtalk wanting to go back to his place; they have time to, they don't have time to, she wishes they had time to. Like too much swearing, gets old after awhile.
Lastly, there were some serious editing errors, which kind of jump off of the pages when you are reading. Some sentences I had to go back and read four or five times and I still don't think they were worded right, and some flat out don't make sense. There is the inconsistent switch between "Ms." and "Miz" (both used for Jessie) and a married character is referred to as both "Mrs." and "Ms." in different places. And editor should have caught this, and if this was an attempt to change things up, grammatically it was bad judgment because it looks like someone does not know proper grammer and the inconsistencies are annoying.
There are also quippy thoughts Jessie has that contain information that is simply incorrect. For example, in trying to be funny the authors wrote in a cute thought of Jessie's that "when the egg split" she got the brains and her twin brother got the looks. Fraternal twins do not come from the same egg so there is no such thing as identical fraternal twins where they would share or split anything. A factual reference that I would consider rather embarrassing as an author to not know. This may have been an instance where the authors assume you get the joke but it would have been more effective leaving out "when the egg split," but worded as it was, it was as if they just didn't know the biological aspect of fraternal twins. Again, a minor thing, but makes me question the authenticity of information presented. Even in fiction, an author needs to do his or her homework and stay true to the facts of these kinds of "minor" details, if for nothing else than to just not look ignorant. An editor should have caught that reference immediately.
All in all, it was a cute book and I will probably read the rest when they come out in this series. You just have to overlook the editing mistakes, somewhat contradictory actions of the characters, and not assume that any kind of historical or scientific reference, in any form, is accurate.
I always hold out hope for the books following the first one because there is room to expand and grow the characters. I would have expected more from authors who already had books out, but I haven't given up on this series.
