A very fast moving book, art times i got a little lost on who was who but all in all it was a good book.

Thank you NetGalley and Severn House for the opportunity to read "Toil and Trouble" in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is the seventh book in the Lily Dale Mystery series. Bella Jordan and her son Max have come to live in Lily Dale, New York after the death of her husband. Chance the cat had led them to the Valley View Guesthouse that is owned by Pandora Feeney a psychic who is predicting trouble is coming. Bella thinks it has more to do with the production of Macbeth being put on than any spirits talking to Pandora. Nadine the mischievous spirit also lives in the guesthouse and some new characters have come to town.

Ms. Staub always makes this series fun and interesting, full of rich character descriptions.

Bella and Max live in a somewhat mysterious town called Lily Dale, full of eccentric characters. The synopsis will tell you the rest so I won't waste your time repeating it. This book is the newest in a series and if you jump in with this book, you may be a little confused with all the narrators and characters, but pay attention and you can read it as a standalone. It's a good "comfort" mystery, with cute kids and cats! I highly recommend reading the whole series and I think you'll fall in love with Lily Dale and it's witchy residents.

A good story overall, Might just be me, but at times hard to follow the multiple characters, as not a quick and easy read. Still though, kept my interest to find out the ending, and did like the kids and cats. Would recommend.

I love the LilyDale books. This author has drawn up such an atmosphere that this is on my bucket list of places to visit. I absolutely adore the eccentric characters in these stories. A fantastic read that was quick and captured my interest.
Amazing and I can’t wait for more

#ToilandTrouble #NetGalley is the first book I've read in the series and I enjoyed it very much.
Bella is a single mom, recently widowed, and eager to get on with her life. Bella and her son Max live in a unique community known as Lily Dale, and Bella has several colorful characters as neighbors and friends.
Bella manages the inn and she is surprised when a visitor introduces herself as a high school acquaintance.
She knows something is off with Jane, and as the story unfolds, the truth comes out leaving everyone shocked.
Even though I was a bit confused by all the characters, I couldn't help but become involved in the story, anxious to see how it would end.
I will definitely read the other books in the series.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of this book.
