I
enjoyed this cozy mystery. It has a murder to solve, a little
suspense to navigate, and some delightful characters.
I
like women sleuths and in this novel we have Skye and Honey. These
two had done a remodel for an eccentric woman and enjoyed the
celebration she threw to show off her new décor. They were stunned
to find out the next day that the woman had been murdered some time
in the night. There is a plethora of suspects, including Skye and
Honey. They are determined to find the real murderer and clear their
names. Throw in a treasure map Skye found in a desk she had loaned
the odd woman and their investigations turn dangerous.
Skye
and Honey are lively and adventurous women. Add Honey's cousin
Ginger, an exotic dancer ready to have a new start in life, and the
adventures get pretty crazy. I like how they try hard to gather
evidence and interview all the suspects. Some of them are pretty odd
too. It was entertaining to see how the women sort of bumbled their
way through an investigation, right to the suspenseful end.
I
enjoyed the setting of near Atlanta, Georgia. I enjoyed the sleuthing
women. I enjoyed the mystery. It even had a little twist at the end
that was fun.
I
recommend this mystery to readers who like a quick novel with fun
characters and a good plot. There is a hint of Christian faith that
runs through the novel too.
