Cassidy has created such a fun cast of characters from our main characters to secondary ones like those in law enforcement. The series has a lot of elements cozy mystery readers will love, adding in paranormal aspects, a touch of magic and loads of humor. While each book focuses on a new murder mystery the overall ARC, and a few storylines progress with each book. For that reason, I recommend reading them in the order of their release.
Stevie finds a body on her beach, that of a woman loved by the town and in particular one of her dare, I say friends. Her friend becomes the main suspect and Stevie is determined to clear their name. Of course, snooping puts her in peril. To complicate matters, the man claiming to be Crispin Alistair Winterbottom, (as in her dead British spy) arrives in town demanding that she vacate. The gang has a house guest an ex-spy and enemy of Winterbottom. I loved this new edition and hope they continue to be a part of the series.
The case was filled with plenty of suspense and twists. Stevie is beginning to listen to her gut feelings as she dons her Sherlock shoes. The thread regarding the man claiming to be Winterbottom kept me anxiously listening for additional tidbits. We did have a rather shocking event occur, but I will leave you to discover that one for yourselves.
