More reviews of recent cozy mysteries I've read over the last few weeks.
Chaos in Mudbug by Jana DeLeon, a Ghost-in-law Mystery was published 2014. I've read all of the other books in this series, and have found them to be very enjoyable reads. There is humor, a little weird and mostly amusing paranormal activity, romance, and a dash of mystery. This continues the tradition. Jadyn St. James is the game warden, and Colt Bertrand is the Sheriff. A fisherman finds a sunken shrimp boat, and the captain of the boat is missing. This puts Jadyn and Colt on the trail of the missing captain, and they try to determine if the recent storm sunk the boat, or if it was sunk deliberately.
Yip/Tuck by Sparkle Abbey, a Pampered Pets Mystery, published in 2013. Melinda Langston arrives at her Bow Wow Boutique to find local Dr. O'Doggle dead in front of her shop. She gets involved in trying to find the culprit, while also trying alternately to steal or keep from being stolen an antique broach of her grandmothers in an ongoing feud with her cousin (Caro Lamont), while running her business. It was an enjoyable read, with plenty of humor, a dash of romance, and plenty of focus on the pets!
50 Shades of Greyhound by Sparkle Abbey is another Pampered Pets Mystery, published in 2014. This story revolves around Caro Lamont, a pet therapist, who attends a Greyhound rescue group fundraising gala and witnesses another guest dying. She gets involved in trying to identify the mystery dead man, and solve the murder, while doing her pet therapy, and being involved in the long-running feud with her cousin, Melinda Langston, over an antique broach. As with the previous books in the series, I enjoyed this.
Misadventures of the Laundry Hag: Skeletons in the Closet by Jennifer Hart (Laundry Hag Mystery) was published in 2008. Maggie Phillips is the wife of a retired Navy SEAL, and is trying to settle into a new neighborhood and add a little money to the family income. She is hired by a neighbor to do some cleaning, and gets involved in a murder investigation. Very amusing and fun to read!
