A wonderful cozy mystery series!
I gave the following reviews after I read each of the three novels individually.
BOOK 1: In the Stars
A fun and romantic cozy mystery!
This story is a great start to a new cozy mystery series. I am intrigued with the special police agency introduced in this story, the Celebrity Crimes Investigation Agency (CCIA). Of course one of their top-secret agents, Charlie, adds more than a little flavor to this story. I loved reading of Amber’s many antics and wondering what she would do next. She is a very interesting character, to say the least!
I enjoyed reading this clean, fun, and entertaining read. It is written in UK English, so a couple of times I found myself re-reading a paragraph to make sure I understood what I thought I understood. I am fascinated by our shared English language from across the pond. That just added a little more fun to the story for me. I am anxious to begin binge reading this series.
BOOK 2: Precious
Amber is knee deep in it now!
Amber wanted to join the Celebrity Crimes Investigation Agency (CCIA). She has completed her enlistment training and is officially the newest recruit of CCIA. There is something to that old saying, ”Be careful what you ask for”. As a support officer in training she finds herself lowest on the totem pole. Even so, there are a few perks to the job. Unfortunately, Amber is still full of zany antics that land her in danger more often than not. Will she be able to enjoy any of those perks? There are plenty of twists and turns in this story to keep you guessing whodunit until the very end. And of course, there is just a little romance (and tension) thrown in for good measure.
I thoroughly enjoyed this less than believable, but more than entertaining story of murder and mayhem. It is a clean, fun, and easy read. The tale is not really believable, but it sure is entertaining!
BOOK 3: Forever Mine
Hanging out with the rich and famous!
Amber is a new recruit with the Celebrity Crimes Investigation Agency (CCIA) and working as a support officer to other special agents. She just cannot be satisfied in that role. Isn’t it enough to be rubbing elbows with the rich and famous while conducting investigations? Will Amber be able to separate her professional and personal lives? Will her zany antics and inability to follow the rules ruin it all? And there are so many twists and turns popping up. Danger is everywhere. Will the CCIA team be able to identify and stop the villain before he strikes again?
This mystery story is a clean, fun, and easy read. Even though this tale is less than believable, it is a more than entertaining story of murder and mayhem.
