This particular entry is 3 Books in one! I enjoyed that because the books were on the shorter side. However, I felt like reading all 3 at once gives you a better sense of the characters.⠀
⠀
Book 1: Death by Didgeridoo⠀
Jamie Quinn is still recovering from the death of her mother. But she gets pulled into a murder mystery she must solve in order to save her cousin. There are quite a few characters that come together to form Jamie’s community and to help her in her quest.⠀
⠀
Book 2: The Case of the Killer Divorce⠀
Jamie is now returning to work and dealing with family law, which is her bread and butter. But her client becomes accused of murdering her ex-husband. She must turn to her friends (Grace, Duke, and a new character, ex-boyfriend Kip) to help sort it out.⠀
⠀
Book 3: Peril in the Park⠀
Boyfriend Kip is director of the parks department. But threats and other happenings occur to him which makes him question his choice of job. It’s Jamie to the rescue, and don’t forget the stable of characters!⠀
⠀
Each book can be read alone or together, but I absolutely recommend together. The characters are likeable, understandable, and the twists come easy and natural (not like “Where did that come from?”). ⠀
Small Summary:
Books 1-3 of the Jamie Quinn Mystery Series! Including:
“Death by Didgeridoo”-Winner of the Indie Book of the Day award. Reluctant lawyer, Jamie Quinn, still reeling from the death of her mother, is pulled into a game of deception, jealousy, and vengeance when her cousin, Adam, is wrongfully accused of murder. It’s up to Jamie to find the real murderer before it’s too late. It doesn’t help that the victim is a former rock star with more enemies than friends, or that Adam confessed to a murder he didn’t commit.
“The Case of the Killer Divorce”-Reluctant lawyer, Jamie Quinn, has returned to her family law practice after a hiatus due to the death of her mother. It’s business as usual until a bitter divorce case turns into a murder investigation, and Jamie’s client becomes the prime suspect. When she can’t untangle truth from lies, Jamie enlists the help of Duke Broussard, her favorite private investigator, to try to clear her client’s name. And she’s hoping that, in his spare time, he can help her find her long-lost father.
“Peril in the Park”-There’s big trouble in the park system. Someone is making life difficult for Jamie Quinn’s boyfriend, Kip Simons, the new director of Broward County parks. Was it the angry supervisor passed over for promotion? The disgruntled employee Kip recently fired? Or someone with a bigger ax to grind? If Jamie can’t figure it out soon, she may be looking for a new boyfriend because there’s a dead guy in the park and Kip has gone missing! With the help of her favorite P.I., Duke Broussard, Jamie must race the clock to find Kip before it’s too late.
