Book Review: Furballs & Felonies

 


What’s worse than a murder victim on your doorstep?


For Rebecca Cuthbert, it’s finding a cursed Egyptian charm tucked into the dead woman’s pocket. The ominous discovery propels the fearless shopkeeper and her immortal, chatty cat on a perilous hunt for the killer and another piece of the missing magical collection.

Unfortunately, Citrus Grove’s annual summer festival is tying up police department resources—including Rebecca’s new beau, Detective Nick Devon—which leaves Rebecca, her grandfather’s wisdom, and Aneksi’s mystical powers to crack the case.

As her investigation delves into the amulet’s eerie peculiarities and the deceased’s shocking connections with a menacing foe, as well as an unwelcome old flame from Rebecca’s past, Rebecca doesn’t know who to trust. Can she rely on her newfound friends in her adopted hometown, or will deadly revelations turn her into the killer’s next target?

Prepare to journey through unexpected twists, ancient mysteries, and a dash of romance in this cozy mystery that will keep you guessing till the very end!


My Review

I thought this was a cute, cozy mystery read. This book was also a fast read for me as well. This book had the right amount of intrigue and mystery to keep me interested. 

The relationship between Rebecca’ and Nick was a nice one. Nick's jealous side came out a little bit with the appearance of Rebecca’s Ex 'fiancé. Yet, I can't really blame him as no one wants to have their current beau's ex come around. 

Aneksi is kind of the star of the story, well in my eyes. She really helped to solve the case. The rest of the characters are good, but I felt a locking strong connection to them. Yet, I liked this book enough that I would go back and check out the prior books in this series.
