This is the second entry in the Daley Buzz series by Meredith Potts. What I find unique about this cozy is the amateur detective is actually working cooperatively with the police. This is of course facilitated by the fact Sabrina Daley is dating the police officer in charge of the investigation.
The story has some good plot twists and succeed in carrying on some backstory plot from the initial book in the series. The disappearance of Sabrina's sister 10 years prior makes a somewhat important appearance in this book's plot. I am eager to see how that storyline plays out over the series.
For those that enjoy supernatural cozies there is a touch of that in this book although not as pronounced as the stories with witches and talking animals but a psychic does play a role in this book. All in all, I enjoyed this next installment in the series and look forward to reading more. Fortunately, this is a series found in Kindle Unlimited so I can get my feel readily and at no direct cost.
Caramels with a Side of Murder by Meredith Potts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Unlikely duo
Contrary to many cozy mysteries this one finds the lead character., Sabrina Daley, partnering up with her police detective boyfriend. Rather than have her go off and investigate on her own, David Devi to have her collaborate with him. While w bit unrealistic, it does make for a less contentious storyline. Overall a well structured mystery with a good conclusion
