This year’s Valentine’s Day box features She Doesn’t Have a Clue by Jenny Elder Moke. Read on for my book review!
Synopsis
A high-end wedding on a private island off the coast of Seattle sounds like something out of a magazine. But for bestselling mystery author Kate Valentine, it’s more like a nightmare.
Why Kate agreed to attend her ex-fiancé’s wedding is its own enigma, but she’ll plaster on a fake smile for two nights, with the aid of free champagne. And because the groom happens to be her editor, she’ll try to finish a draft of her latest mystery as a wedding gift. But when the bride is poisoned and Kate stumbles across a dead body, she finds herself in a real-life mystery that eerily echoes the plot of her latest novel. And the only person who seems willing to help Kate catch the killer is Jake Hawkins, Kate’s biggest romantic regret.
As the wine flows and the weather threatens to hold every guest hostage, resentments and grudges surface amongst the colorful crowd. Anyone could be capable of murder, it seems…
Thoughts
The only thing that can make a cozy mystery that much better is a bit of romance, and this book pulled it off. Pick this up if you enjoy mystery, forced proximity, lol moments, quirky characters, and HEAs.
