Book Review: Well Murdered by Marty Damon

 

Cozy mystery lovers, welcome to a new series filled with humor, a never ending list of suspects, and a hint of romance in a small town.

After losing her job in Providence, Cate MacLeod returns to Calvin, Massachusetts to live next door to her perfectionist mother and work in the local gift shop. 

While walking a neighbor's dog, Cate stumbles upon the body of local real estate agent Arlene Gerrigan, who she learns through the course of the investigation, had made many enemies. Cate quickly finds herself in the middle of small town drama and catching the attention of a murderer.

If there were ever a classic small town cozy mystery, Well Murdered by Marty Damon is it. Damon has created a story with memorable characters residing in a small New England town where a murder unfolds and Cate finds herself--and her mother--right in the middle of it.

In addition to Cate, numerous secondary characters that live in Calvin will make an impression that will leave you eager to dive into the next book in this series, Gravely Murdered, so you can get reacquainted.

As a lover of cozy mysteries since childhood, I can say this ranks right up there with other novels from famous authors in this genre. It has all the crucial elements--mystery, twists and turns, too many motives to count, and a smart main character who "assists" with the investigation whether the police welcome her help or not. I wish I had read it sooner. 

Highly recommended!

I purchased a digital copy of this book in 2020. This review contains my honest opinions, which I have not been compensated for in any way.

I'll keep this one in mind for the next time I'm in the mood for a really good cozy mystery.
