January 16 – My Reading Journeys
About the book
When children’s book author, Christy Bailey, receives a call from her aunt Betty to help out at her bookshop, she drops everything to go. Christy packs up her two cats—Milton and Pearl, the stars of her children’s mystery books—and leaves busy Philadelphia for tiny Green Meadow, Indiana. The timing of the call is perfect, as Christy’s letch of an ex-boyfriend has just cleaned out her savings, leaving Christy with a pile of unpaid bills and a desire to start over. And what better place to do that than a charming small town in Middle America?
But when Christy reaches her aunt’s bookshop, instead of small town hospitality she finds a dead body! Even worse, her aunt is passed out in the corner, hands covered in blood. The dead woman is an old frenemy of her Aunt Betty, and while Christy knows her aunt is innocent, the local detective isn’t so sure. With Milton and Pearl prowling for clues, Christy is determined to find the real killer and clear her aunt’s name… before her story ends in tragedy!
And I thought
What a fun new series!
And what an amazing couple of cats!
I enjoyed every turn of the page!
Christy is a great main character that you can't help but like.
In typical Cozy style Christy plans to start over in a new town with the help of her aunt.
But before they can begin poor aunt Betty becomes a suspect and the sleuthing must begin!
As it turns out author Ruth Hartman gives us a newish plot with an interesting angle.
In true cozy style in the end the mystery gets unraveled and Aunt Betty gets her Happy Ever After. And Christy is ready for her New Chapter!
I enjoyed everything about this book. From the setting and locale to the plot and characters and especially Milton and Pearl who steal the show a bit.
I am looking forward to book 2.
I received complimentary copy.
