I find it so hard to say no to a cozy mystery, even though I require more depth and blood and guts to be engrossed in the story, I just can’t pass them up.
MY ONE SENTENCE REVIEW
A Bad Reputation by Jane Tesh has everything you need for a fantastic cozy; fun, intriguing characters, lots of suspects and dialogue that puts a smile on your face.
4 Stars
GOODREADS BLURB: When Wendall Clarke announces plans to open a new art gallery downtown, it’s both the talk of Celosia, North Carolina and the envy of its residents. But the news is upstaged when Clarke is found murdered, prompting beauty queen turned private investigator Madeline Maclin to take on the case. Faced with a laundry list of suspects including a furious ex-wife, a competing business owner, and jealous local artists, Madeline’s also struggling to keep her con man husband, Jerry Fairweather, out of handcuffs. If Jerry wasn’t enough trouble on his own, enter Honor Perkins, dead set on luring him back into a life of crime. Between foiling Perkins’ plans, stabilizing her marriage and possibly being pregnant, Madeline juggles her responsibilities as she races to solve the crime before the killer strikes again – or her life falls apart.

I really like the cover on this one Sherry 🙂
Yeah, that’s what drew me in! I am a sucker for a cover that speaks to me.
I have to check this author out. This is the one you were telling me about isn’t it?
Yeah. I loved it. It’s rare when a cozy grabs me like this one did. I definitely want to check out more of her work!
I love your one sentence review, Sherry! It says it all in one concise thought!!
Thanks, Taylor. I want to share all the books I love but just don’t have the time for big reviews. Plus, it’s quite the challenge to say it all in one sentence.
