Author's Description

I'm the personal assistant for Mimi LaFleur, who played America's favorite amateur sleuth on TV. The septuagenarian party animal never met a man or cliche that she didn't take to like a duck to water. I wonder why my boss drags me to an ocean-front house in Manhattan Beach for a vacay -- until I discover that a Hollywood hunk is our new neighbor. After an all-night rager, the police suspect Mimi of murdering the star! To save my job, I must add beating a murder rap to my list of duties.

Why I Chose it

I like cozy mysteries and this is fun. One thing this author understands is the big draw of cozies is wanting to spend time in the world apart from the mystery. (When I read a cozy, the mystery is mostly there to give the characters something to do, and as long as that doesn't make them seem too stupid to live, I don't care all that much about the mystery.) These characters are people I'd love to spend some time with.

[22 episodes so far, with 3 updates in the last 30 days.]

Who Might Like This

Cozy lovers should jump on this one.

Unrelated Griping

No terrible gripes, but these days I feel like I could give a class in how not to write the first episode of a serial. I think this must be how slush pile readers feel.
