Ditched 4 Murder by J.C. Eaton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sophie “Phee” Kimball has made the move from Minnesota to Arizona to be closer to her mother who lives in a nearby retirement community. Fortunately for Phee her old boss from the police station in Minnesota decided it was also time to make a move and headed to sunny Arizona with her to start his own P.I. firm giving Phee a new job in her new life.

Phee is just settling into her life in AZ when her Aunt Ina announces she’s going to marry and is planning a huge wedding. This of course leads to lots of complaining from her mother and lots of extra works helping to plan the even from her aunt. Things are hectic but get even more so when a dead body is found nearby to Phee’s mother’s place that looks to be a suspicious.

Ditched 4 Murder by J.C. Eaton is the second book in the cozy Sophie Kimball Mystery series. With all the elements of a cozy that I enjoy this series is really promising to be a really fun one. Phee is back and what I like most is while she’s a down to earth regular person solving crime she doesn’t do it on her own but instead gets a little help from her boss who really was a detective.

As with most cozy mysteries this one also comes with it’s own set of quirky characters which in this case come from the local retirement community and Phee’s own family. There are plenty of laughs to be had even among the dead bodies being found along with plenty of twists and turns as the mystery goes on. Definitely a series that I’m enjoying and will be looking forward to more adventures from this crew in the future.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.
