Witchy Wednesday
Author: Denise Jaden
When her eccentric aunt dies, Tabitha Chase travels to Crystal Cove to sell her late aunt's houseboat. One dead body, a psychic cat and two cute detectives later, she finds her life totally changing in ways she never expected.
I love reading cozy mysteries because they give me a chance to relax and just enjoy a story. No adult themes, nothing disturbing, fun background themes, cute pets and a dash of humor amidst amateur sleuthing. The experience is even better when I discover a new-to-me author and series that I enjoy. I hit the jackpot with Denise Jaden's Tabitha Chase's Day of the Week mysteries. Cool cat, fun main character, light witchy theme, humor and some interesting sleuthing. Fun read!
I like Tabitha Chase as a main character. In this first book, I definitely see that there is plenty of room for character development and the author wasted no time in getting Tabby on the path to changing her life. The side characters in Crystal Cove are interesting and fit into the plot perfectly. I adore Sherlock the cat. And the two detectives added to the investigation portion of the story nicely, although I do not really like love triangle situations. One well-known cozy series I've been reading for years has done that plot mechanic to death and I'm just over it. But I get the feeling that the two detectives will figure things out and one will find another love interest and one will gravitate to Tabby. I hope.
A great start to a cozy series! I'm definitely going to continue reading this series!
