Review: CANT' WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK!
Rating: 5 out of 5

A 4.5 star rating is more accurate.I still don't know why this series is billed as a "humorous mystery" because even with my warped sense of humor. I found little or no humor.  However, I'm certainly not complaining because it had 4 elements that I LOVE in cozy mysteries: Interesting characters, Mystery, Romance and Romance with "juicy bits" aka sex scenes.  Now before you get your knickers in a bunch and call this "soft porn" it is not.  The sex scenes are not overly graphic, they are not pages long, there are only 2, they are seamlessly woven into the story, and, IMO, they add to the story/romance.  Additionally, unlike most erotica/soft porn that focuses on the sex rather than emotions and for the most part a plot, this book very much focuses upon the emotions of it's characters, as well as, the mystery at the heart of the plot. However, if your looking for a humorous mystery I would look else where.The mystery is tight, and contrary to what some reviewers opined this it very much a mystery.  There are lots of clues, red herrings and twist & turns but I still couldn't figure out "Who done it" which is praise indeed since I pride myself on my mystery solving abilities.  The pace of the story is great and you'll eagerly be turning to the next page to see what happens next.  The characters are sufficiently flushed out to be complex and interesting.  The protagonist in this one is Gloria, the attorney from New Orleans who represented Penny in her divorce and later in her criminal issues. I liked Gloria and it was interesting to find out her story. A new sheriff is in town and his name is Zane and he makes an intriguing & sexy addition to the spooky little town of Mojo.I am very happy to have discovered this delightful series.  Now if only Ms. Bond can find the time to write and published the other two books in this series I will be in literary bliss! lol  I do plan to check out some of her other books including non-cozies.  I just love a good author who know how to seamlessly weave the hot "juicy bits" into a story.Read It, Buy it, Enjoy!
