I voluntarily reviewed this book
Published: December 16, 2016
Number of pages: 304
Genre: Cozy Mystery
Series: Nick and Nora Mystery #3
Synopsis:
Nick and Nora aren’t just pussyfooting around this time as they deal with a missing person’s case and murder.While catering a gala for the Cruz Museum, Nora Charles agrees to look into the disappearance of director Violet Crenshaw’s niece, a case previously undertaken by her frisky feline friend Nick’s former owner, a private eye whose whereabouts are also currently unknown.
As Nora and her curious cat Nick pull at the string of clues, they begin to unravel a twisted tale of coded messages, theft, false identities, murder, and international espionage. Nora dares to hope that the labyrinth of leads will not only help them locate the missing young woman, but also solve the disappearance of the detective. That’s if Nora can stay alive long enough to find him…
INCLUDES DELICIOUS SANDWICH RECIPES
My thoughts:
This is the third book in this series but the first book that I have read and I was able to enjoy it without feeling lost. I really liked that Nick "helped" Nora find clues to solve the crime. Nora seems to get herself into a few little situtations that sometimes threaten her own safety. Along with Nick looking for clues he also protects Nora when she gets into these scraps. Nick the cat has a bigger part in this book than most pets do and I thought it was a nice addition to the story. The author gave us little tidbits along the way but just enough to keep me guessing until the end of the story. A fun new to me series. I look forward to reading more books by this author.
