I’m Sunny Shaw, and regardless of what my name might suggest, my world has become rather dim as of late.
With a bankrupt business to save, homeless kittens that need rescuing, and a new business partner distracting me with every glance, there seems to be a disaster waiting at every turn.
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, a murder literally lands on my doorstep—or at least the … my doorstep—or at least the corpse does. Now I’m struggling to figure out which problem to solve first!
My business partner seems to want to share more than our lease, but I have to take that step very slowly. Of course, I can’t in good conscience leave the kittens to wander the streets. Then again no business means no money.

Claws of Justice by Emmie Lyn is the debut of Mint Chocolate Chip Mysteries. I like that this series relates back to the Little Dog Diner series. That is where we originally met Sunny Shaw. I thought Claws of Justice contained good writing with a sassy heroine and some quirky characters (aka Tilly). I enjoy the antics of the pets especially Sunny’s dog, Jasper. The mystery was fun. I enjoyed following Sunny and her friends as they worked to unravel the whodunit. Sunny does need to be more careful. She was a little reckless and could have ended up making Jasper an orphan. It was obvious that the local police were not up to the task of solving this crime. I love the small-town setting. The author really brought it to life for me with her word imagery. Claws of Justice is a fun cozy mystery with cute kittens, auction antics, ex-beau woes, a charming canine, and a bankrupt business.
In this new series we meet Sunny, Jasper & Hitch as they try to start their new businesses. They buy an old nursery which will house a place for Hitch’s orchids & plants, the Cake & Shake Shoppe and the Kitten Castle. With help from Jasper, Sunny’s Newfoundland, and their friend Tilly they first must solve a murder and get to the bottom of plant thievery. Lots of twists & turns. A great start to the series, looking forward to more.
What a cute book – loved the cover, the story, the characters, the setting and everything in between. It’s definitely worth checking out!

I enjoyed this “spin off” from Blueberry Bay with mentions of older characters and places of business.
Enjoyed this cute short read with 2 & 4 legged character who work so good together finding clues (& trouble), completing puzzle pieces, and wrapping up this great mystery story.
This is a wonderful start to a new series. Once you start reading this book you can’t put it down. Tilly will make you laugh out loud at the stunts she pulls. This book has a wonderful cast of characters and kittens, cats and a big lovable dog. I loved this book and can’t wait to read the next book in this series. I received an ARC copy of this book and was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
Sunny Shaw just found herself with a bankrupt business and a new business partner along with a homeless mama cat and kittens. When a man is found murdered, can she and her friends get to the bottom of things before anything else happens?
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review and I honestly loved it. Having read Emmie Lyn’s Little Dog Diner series, I was intrigued by this new series. I do believe that I enjoyed it even more. It’s well-written with well-rounded characters, some of whom you know and others who are new. This intriguing story has some twists and turns as well as a few surprises. I’m very eager for the continuation of the series. I highly recommend this book.
Claws of Justice is an awesome book! I really enjoyed it. The book is well written with detailed characters. The characters are fantastic and interesting. The plot is fast paced and action packed. Claws of Justice is full of humour, suspense, mystery and cute animal characters. The mystery was so many twists and red hearings that you are kept guessing until the very end. I did not want to put the book down. I highly recommend this book. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
“When someone covets something belonging to someone else *nothing* would surprise me”
In this first of a new series by Emmie Lyn who writes other books set in Blueberry Bay, Sunny Shaw and her dog Jasper, her eccentric friend Tilly and her former boyfriend Ty Hitchner are part of a group at an auction for Sunny’s old family business, the now seriously run down Nine Pine Nursery. While she is in the crowd, an unknown (to her) man starts talking her up and moments later, is found dead. It’s the beginning of a rather convoluted mystery that has both Ty and Sunny under scrutiny by the local cop who is also not so secretly “crushing” on Sunny.
It becomes “who’s got it” when a valuable plant gord missing as first one suspect has it, then another. This plant has a mystery around it all its own. Who does it belong to? Who has it now? Is it really valuable enough to murder someone? And, most importantly, where are the kittens now?
Emmi Lyn brings small towns and their secrets to life. Keep this series in your crosshairs and she what’s popping up next. Highly recommended 5/5
[disclaimer: I received this book from the author and chose to read and review it”
I really enjoyed reading Claws of Justice. I love Sunny, Jasper and the kittens. There are plenty of Sunny’s quirky friends. I love how Sunny decided she could make a sanctuary for the kittens and still run her business. Of course, it wouldn’t be Blueberry Bay without a corpse and a muddled path to find the killer. I am eagerly waiting for book two!
Well, here we go again with a fun, funny, irresistible, quirky mystery with lots of cute animals. The mystery was hard to figure out. This should be a good series I will enjoy reading. I received an ARC copy. This is my honest, voluntary review.
If suspense has a sense of humor, Lyn will be sure to find it. Claws of Justice dares to be unique. Cute and cuddly finds a way to be an intriguing puzzle. Sunny Shaw doesn’t look for trouble it finds her. From adorable kittens to a surprise mystery and an unwanted admirer, life is idling at complicated for her? It couldn’t possibly get any worse. Or have I spoke too soon? Lyn uses two of my love of all things furry and a thirst for a good mystery,, to play mind games with my heart. Claws of Justice proves that danger can masquerade as a cuddly addiction.
