Humor with a side of homicide. From New York Times,USA TODAY, & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Addison Moore. Cosmopolitan Magazine calls Addison's books, "...
easy, frothy fun!" Cozy Mystery with RECIPE! Love your books with humor, sass, BOOKS and murder?
You’ll devour the Murder in the Mix Series! My name is Lottie Lemon and I see dead people. Okay, so I rarely see dead people, mostly I see furry creatures of the dearly departed variety.
And for some reason those sweet, fluffy albeit paranormal cuties always seem to act as a not-so-great harbinger of deadly things to come for their previous owner. So when I saw that sweet orange tabby twirling around my landlord’s ankles, I figured Merilee was in for trouble. Personally, I was hoping for a skinned knee—what I got was a top spot in an open homicide investigation.
Throw in a hot judge and an ornery detective that oozes testosterone and that pretty much sums up my life right about now. Have I mentioned how cute that detective is? Lottie Lemon has a bakery to tend to, a budding romance with perhaps one too many suitors and she has the supernatural ability to see the dead—which are always harbingers for ominous things to come.
Throw in a string of murders and her insatiable thirst for justice and you’ll have more chaos than you know what to do with.
What readers say
Readers enjoy this light, funny bakery cozy for its comfortable, fluffy tone, small-town setting, quirky heroine, clean romance and a well-plotted mystery with plenty of suspects, red herrings and a surprising culprit. The baker's ability to see dead pets appeals to many. The most common complaint is the heroine herself, who some find ditzy, clumsy or too distracted by men. Others say the romance feels cheesy, the paranormal element is barely used, the prose is overly descriptive, and a few found the humor embarrassing. One audiobook listener disliked the synthetic-sounding narration.
Best for: Readers who want a fluffy, humorous bakery cozy with a touch of paranormal and a clean romance.
