Nayu's thoughts
While I do
get every book in the series from Linda for review, my high rating
isn't that biased. This is a really good cozy mystery series which improves with each installment. I love how Amelia and Rick get their
new case while technically on honeymoon - it's typical of cases just
find Amelia regardless of what she's doing!
She and Rick have very different approaches to getting
information from people which is examined closely in this book. I love
how a not so simple hunting down an adoptive teen turns into a
fugitive from a murder - I never expect the large twists that are part
of what makes this series brilliant. I love finding out new things
about Amelia and Rick, how skills I didn't know they had are
uncovered, how they grow as husband and wife with the romance
remaining at a sweet level.
They make the perfect team, treading
carefully when up aginst the actual law and a moral/ethical law in
how they deal with the adopted son. Their compassion shows in the
decisions they make. I love how Amelia slowly improves her weapons
training, even if she is reluctant to use a gun she realises she
needs one because of the line of work she is in. I don't want this
series to end! However I think there's just 1 left for now which I
hope to review soon.
Find out more on Linda's website.
Suggested read
You must read the others in the series (I've reviewed them all...) including #5 Amelia Moore Detective #5 Her Lost Love by Linda Weaver Clarke (Cozy Mystery, 10/10E, audiobook, short 'n' sweet review)
but also look at Linda's foray into Historical Romance, Melinda and the Wild West by Linda Weaver Clark (Historical romance, Audiobook, 10/10E) (I'm very much a fangirl for promoting 2 of her other books!!!
