Good book
it was a good mystery with some humor
A fun read!
Couldn’t put it down until I finished. Loved the surprise ending.
This book was a cute easy read.
Simple, not terrible, but not particularly engaging characters or story.
If I read it it is was excellent !!! A good writer will grab one in the first few pages. If not, DISCARD!!!
Was not that good, slow to move along
Great book. I really enjoyed it. Read it right straight through.
Did not figure this ending out at all. I am usually good at picking out the murderer.
Total surprise. I do recommend it.
Loved the characters Val & Romero
Adorable.
Murder, fire bomb, window smashing,
mayhem, an anonymous threatening note,
harassing phone calls, a kidnapping plus
a cast of colorful, quirky, scary, dangerous
supporting characters make this first book
starring Valentine Beaumont, a MUST READ!!!!
Valentine owns a Salon. She is trying very
hard to make it a successful venture but
seems to keep running into all sort of obstacles.
The latest problem is when a client in found
dead in the Ti Amo room when she is getting
a facial.
Why was the back door was found unlocked?
Who would have murdered the client? Was it
an inside job or did someone from the back
alley come in then leave?
How were there no fingerprints to help identify
any viable suspects?
The client was very outspoken, nasty and
condescending to a lot of people plus known
for her marital unfaithfulness. This makes for
a ton of colorful suspects.
Although Valentine is told by the handsome
Detective Romero to leave the investigating
to the police. She decides to check out a few
things on her own.
The story is captivating, unique and fresh with
humorous shenanigans. It is creatively written
with a well executed plot.
When Valentine does volunteer work on the
children’s cancer unit in the local hospital, you
will meet sweet but sickly children that she
brings laughter and fun into their lives.
A very entertaining cozy mystery.
This is the first book in the Valentine Beaumont
Mysteries series.
Looking forward to the next book to see what
adventure awaits Valentine plus how her
romantic prospects progress.
I volunteered to read this story. Thanks to the
author for the opportunity. My opinion is my own.
