When Cassie Coburn moved to London, she never thought she’d be involved in a quadruple homicide.After a car accident ended her medical career before it even started, Cassie moved to London on a whim, expecting to see the sights and live the typical tourist backpacker lifestyle.Instead she finds herself accompanying a French private detective, Violet Despuis, as they attempt to find out who … attempt to find out who poisoned four people in the middle of London.
Cassie’s life soon includes this crazy detective, an ancient landlady with a curious past, a mischeivous orange cat who likes going for walks on a leash, and a super hot pathologist that Cassie is sure is out of her league.
And they haven’t even found the murderer yet…
The Cassie Coburn mysteries are a cozy mystery series featuring a Sherlock-holmes style sleuth. If you want a light, fun, modern mystery featuring a San Francisco girl totally out of her element in London, and a crazy French woman who happens to be very good at noticing things, then this is the series for you.

A new take on Sherlock Holmes with present-day female detectives.
Relaxing pastiche of detective novels
I really enjoyed this book! Very easy read and the characters were fun and interesting definitely going to read the next in the series!
Probably one of the best stories I have ever read! Absolutely rushed to get the next in the series. Do yourself a favor and buy the set right away cause I know you are going to love these characters. A modern day Sherlock with an American (almost) doctor as her sidekick. Plenty of twists and turns to keep you reading.
After reading the last page, I directly bought the next book in the series!
This one is a quick fun read but I didn’t find the character, Cassie Coburn, nearly as interesting as the French sleuth in the story. In my opinion she would be a far better main character as the focus of future books.
Nice start to a new series, though I do wish it was a bit longer and more fleshed out in terms of plot. I enjoyed the characters a lot, and there is a good deal of brightness to the writing that held my attention and had me guessing.
Loved this book
Just ok
Silly fun read.
With echoes of Holmes and Watson the female detecting duo provide witty entertainment while deducing the true facts of the crime.
Fun read!
Great book.
