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.

I really enjoyed this charming, cozy mystery set in London. I’m a sucker for all things Sherlock, so having a female character with similar attributes worked for me! I look forward to reading more in the series.
I enjoyed reading this, I think Violet is my favorite character. This book made me laugh and was fun to read.
I enjoyed this book a lot. It’s a modern day female Holmes and Watson done just the right way. The characters are believable and well developed. I look forward to more from this series.
Am easy enjoyable read. But not interested in reading more of this series
Enjoyed more than I thought I would. Ended reading the whole series
I loved the top two characters, although I laughingly wondered which one was the real protagonist. I absolutely now must read anything else this author has written!
As a longtime Sherlock Holmes fan and having read all of those books and stories, I found this series of books a new way to enjoy the things that stirred my early interest in Sherlock and Watson. I love the writing and keen interaction between the characters. I am about to finish reading this entire series and am actually hoping for more books to be added. Thanks to Samantha Silver for a wonderful series.
A good Cozy. Light and entertaining. Well worth your reading.
I’m not that big on murder stories, but this one had a lot of other interest.
Loved this book
I like the main character she is feisty. Good read
Easy reading with great characters. Always nice when animals are in the story too.
This book was interesting. Where do you go when everything you have been working toward the past ten years is pulled away from you? How about England? The character development was good and the plot interesting.
This book was a fun who-done it! It followed Sherlock Homes and Watson very closely. A fun read!
interesting charcters adn a easy read CW
A fun read, interesting characters, good plot.
Good fun
I liked the protagonist and how she turned her terrible handicapping situation into a positive force for good. She used her knowledge to create new opportunities rather than dwelling on her misfortune.
A fun read with great characters
I’ve given it four stars because it was the first effort in the series. It was an easy read and written well. The next time i’m looking for a quick, Light read, I would certainly consider the next in the series
Violet is quite a trip with her investigative skills. Really enjoyed this book.
