From bestselling author Erin Huss comes another addition to the award-winning (International Readers’ Favorite Awards) Cambria Clyne Mystery Series. A #1 Amazon Bestseller in Cozy Mystery & Amateur Sleuth categories! Twenty-something single mom and apartment manager, Cambria Clyne, is ready to take her career to the next level. So when the owners of the neighboring apartment building ask her … building ask her to interview, she jumps at the opportunity. Higher pay, bigger apartment, bonuses—it’s the dream job Cambria never knew she always wanted! There’s only one catch—this high-end community is doing damage control after a public scandal involving their last manager. In order to restore their good name, it’s vital that the new manager be scandal-free.
Not a problem.
Or so Cambria thinks.
When a decades old corpse is discovered in the attic of Cambria’s current building, the police reach out to the media to help ID the dead woman. Cambria is desperate to keep the corpse scandal hush-hush, and even more desperate to keep her name out of the news. The only solution is for her to identify the victim herself. A task that seems simple enough until Cambria uncovers a dark secret that puts the lives of her residents and loved ones in jeopardy.
Will Cambria land her dream job, or will this be the end of it all?

Another fun Cambria story. In this one she is interviewing for a job at a more upscale apartment complex, and they are quite clear with the fact that the person they hire can’t have any negative publicity surrounding them. Unfortunately, a long-deceased body is found in the attic in one of the complexes she manages. Cambria does her best to help solve the mystery of who the person is, and how they even got there, before the news spreads and she loses her chance at the new job.
I really enjoyed this book. The characters are such fun to read (Fox and all the goats!) and her friendship develops with Kevin, as everything he knows about his life changes. I look forward to reading the next one.
Mint Chip & Murder earns 5/5 Hot Yoga Goats…Totally Entertaining!
No “Mistake” About It! Erin Huss has again penned an entertaining murder mystery. Cambria Clyne is not telling anyone about her interview for the managerial position for an upscale apartment complex…it’s next door! It may be an awkward decision, but it’s hard to ignore a salary increase, benefits package, monthly bonuses, and living quarters for her and her pre-schooler. Cambria is very aware of the “incident” that caused a vacancy in the manager position; the last manager was murdered. Buzzz! Buzzz! The frantic text message from a resident of her Burbank property interrupts her interview. The cable guy damaged a wall, discovering a old industrial drum. She demands he leave it alone, but his eagerness makes it too late. Prying open the lid he discovers…a long dead body! “Why-oh-why-oh-whhhyyy does this keep happening?”
Erin Huss follows the traditional cozy formal that has made me a fan. The mystery occurs early in the drama to which she adds her engaging writing style with an engaging humor, quirky and endearing characters, realistic predicaments (Ok, I know not very one finds a dead body.), and a surprising “Oh, Wow!” ending! The mystery is an entertaining page-turner putting Cambria in another unavoidable situation trying to uncover the identity of the body, quickly and quietly, to keep friends out of jail and not ruin her chances for the new job. I like a little romance with my cozy, so Chase that fits the bill along with partnering with Cambria to gather clues. A bit of a triangle emerges with Cambria’s ex and baby daddy showing some interest to rekindle a connection. I really enjoy the little snippets introducing each chapter, and the “Note to Self” reminders add clever, unique insight in Cambria’s perspective. I loved it!
A quirky mystery with wonderful fun characters! A great read! I loved this book! I received an ARC from the publisher for purposes of an unbiased review
Never a spoiler in my reviews! Cambria, a property manager in LA, can’t seem to catch a break! With her dream job at her fingertips, you know something will certainly go wrong! This book gives you that! A well written mystery with twists and turns, and characters so well developed you can devour this as a standalone! This book gives you that! Will you want to go back and read the others before this because this read is so fab? This book gives you that! Murder, humor, thrills and suspense, a touch of romance, and did I mention humor? This gal is a trouble magnet! Don’t wait, one click this now! You won’t be sorry! I received an ARC of this book and this review is my honest evaluation and mine alone.
Laugh out loud FUNNY! Cambria is absolutely HILARIOUS! She is always poking her nose where it doesn’t belong with unpredictable results. She is a complete nut, but I adore her! I have been an assistant property manager and can completely relate!
Mint Chip & Murder is another crazy romp through a few days with Cambria Cline! She is the property manager for two complexes filled with interesting renters. She keeps stumbling over bodies. The characters are interesting and well defines. This time the body is has been hidden for about 30 years! The plots is twisty and convoluted just the way I like it! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Love this series. This book was so good that I read it all in one sitting. Well written, fun characters & great storylines. I can’t wait to see what Cambria does with the next chapter of her life.
Wonderful! Thank goodness for another Cambria Clyne cozy mystery. I have come to really love this girl! Cambria is a single mom apartment manager who just can’t seem to stay out of trouble. She is funny and the writing is fabulous. Cambria’s “Note to self” thoughts scattered on the pages are hilarious and match the outrageous situations she finds herself in and keep me laughing at the craziness of all things Cambria.
The cast of characters in these books is crazy good and so entertaining. Cambria’s young daughter Lilly provides laugh out loud comedy as she tries to make sense of her mom’s job, the apartment tenants, and Cambria’s friends. Cambria’s best friends Amy and Kevin provide more craziness. Amy is a struggling actress and Kevin is the disinherited son of the apartment owners. There is her boyfriend Chase with the LAPD and her baby daddy Tom (who wants to get back together) providing Cambria with love life distractions that everyone has an opinion on.
Oh, and all the while she has to deal with more run-ins with the police, dead bodies, crazy tenants, Chase’s partner, and goats! If you like cozy mysteries, great characters, and laugh out loud entertainment, then don’t miss this one. In fact, start early with book one, French Vanilla & Felonies!
(I was provided an ARC of this book by the publisher for my honest review. )
