A poisoning, a mystery, and a murderer on the loose…Suspended detective Christie Watson has decided not to get involved in any more murder cases. If the Captain back in Boston finds out she’s been investigating, she’s fired!
But when a local artist is poisoned, and Christie’s best friend’s cousin is accused, she realizes that she can’t stay out of this case. Especially when their might be a … can’t stay out of this case. Especially when their might be a murderer watching her every move.
Can she solve the case before she becomes the next victim?
Christie is still on suspension and staying with her friend, Griselda. If she investigated any case she can jeopardize any chance she has to get back to being a Detective. However, what else can she do when a murder happens right before her eyes? The Double Cheeseburger Mystery is an entertaining novel with enjoyable characters that I recommend. I also suggest reading The Fiesta Burger Mystery by Rosie A. Point.

Cute, Short and Strange Cozy Mystery
This story begins with a lot of references to book 1 and to our heroine’s mother and her case. The reader discovers in chapter 7 that our heroine’s mother has been hanging with the Mafia and was involved in the murder in book 1. Or not, it really is not clear. If a reader were to ignore all references to prior history, it is a good story. It does not easily stand alone. I wish the author had devoted just one page to give us the back story. It was very confusing. I have no desire to read Book 1 to get the backstory. I received this ARC book for free from Booksprouts and this is my honest review.
This series is definitely looking up. I really enjoyed this book and the way the characters are developing. They are sassy and have great personality shining through with a sense of small town camaraderie as well. The murder mystery was done well with the whodunnit in question up until the end for me. I’m looking forward to this series continuing and fingers crossed a little more starts happening with Christie and Balle.
