This is the second book in the Moorehaven Mysteries Series from author Morgan C. Talbot. Moorehaven is a Bed and Breakfast run by Pippa and her Uncle Hilt. It is unique in that it is solely for authors to come and stay, they then can write their novels, meet in groups to discuss their writing and/or plots. The house was originally owned by an author Raymond Moore who died and left it to Hilt, who converted it in to a B&B.

As in the first book Smugglers and Scones there is a mystery to solve and delicious food! Burglars and Blintzes is written from Pippa’s point of view, I really love her character, she is running the B&B, she’s there for her authors and also for her friends. She loves her uncle Hilt and boyfriend Lake and she goes above and beyond to help everyone and anyone.

Moorhaven Mystery Two was like putting on a favourite cardi. Having read the first book it was so lovely to connect with all the previous main characters again. I couldn’t wait to read it and wasn’t disappointed. It has been well written has a good choice of language and a convincing plot, which developed throughout the book. The outcome wasn’t predictable so kept the anticipation right to the end. It is packed full of action beginning with a tsunami, which Pippa and her guest watch from the B&B rooftop. Pippa and Lake take on some heroic tasks all of them plausible and relevant to the storyline. Also a nice touch of ending the book with a recipe for Blintzes!

I Definitely recommend Burglars & Blintzes as it is a really good read made more enjoyable as I had read the first book in the series. If you are going to read this book, make sure you read book one, Smugglers and Scones, first.
