I hope you’re
having a fantastic summer and that the books you’re reading are leaving you
happy. We chose a cozy mystery this round. Stop by Constantine and Baryeh’s blogs
to see what they thought about it after reading my review.
The Blurb
A contemporary humorous mystery set in the fictitious small college town of Gold Springs, California. Raina Sun is a typical graduate student trying to keep her head above water as the bills roll in from a lawsuit disputing an inheritance from her dysfunctional family. Then her dashing college adviser cons her out of several months of rent.
Her quest to get her money back sets into motion a streak of bad luck. First, she finds the dead body of an ex-lover and becomes the prime suspect to his murder. The only man she ever loved reappears as the lead detective to the case and wants to reignite their passion (or at least he’s sending out smoke signals).
Her life careens out of control as her best friend does whatever it takes to get the inside scoop for the town’s newspaper. And her grandma moves into Raina’s postage-stamp-sized apartment, dragging a red suitcase and trouble. The family secret Raina has been running away from is now staring at her across the dining room table every morning.
Raina must figure out how to extract herself before things get dicey. There is no place for an amateur when it comes to murder.
The eclectic cast of characters in this amateur sleuth mystery will have you scratching your head and laughing until the end.
My review
Cozy mysteries tend to be cute, and this one fit the
description. Raina is an interesting amateur sleuth with friendship and man
issues that she had to contend with along with attempting to help solve a
murder. Her grandmother was hilarious. She provided the comic relief that the
book needed. The mystery aspect was interesting even though it moved slowly.
It took my quite a few chapters to get into the story, and
even then the book dragged for me. I wasn’t fond of the relationship between
Raina and Matthew. The author took her time revealing their past history
together and even when it was all out in the open I wasn’t happy with why he
behaved the way he did. The relationship annoyed me, just like the one she had
with her best friend.
I give this book three out of five plant shaped chocolate
bars.
I purchased my copy from AmazonUK.
