Riddles, Rogues and Murders

A Twisty Cozy Mystery (A Stacie Maroni Mystery, Book 12)

What begins as a blissful ladies’ spa day meant for rest and renewal turns deadly when a striking young model is found murdered in the parking lot. Amateur sleuth Stacie Maroni is the one who discovers the body, notifies the police, and studies the woman and her jewelry. A bit obsessive about things matching, Stacie wonders at the silver earring mixed with everything else gold. Little does she know someone nearby is filming her. As rumors swirl and clues surface, Stacie notices unsettling details: two men of average build, both wearing dark wedding bands, and threats against her and Jasper—someone believes she has something worth killing for.

With a brash, womanizing FBI agent jumping to dangerous conclusions and pressure mounting from all sides, Stacie finds herself pulled deeper into a mystery she never intended to solve. As tensions rise and threats close in, she must rely on her instincts and her friends to uncover the truth before the killer strikes again or the FBI agent arrests her for the murder. In this seemingly cozy town, even with her police connections, danger lurks around every corner.

A Twisted Cozy Mystery

I enjoyed this book as much as the other books in the series. I found it fun trying to solve the mystery before the actual reveal at the end of the story. I admired Stacie as her intelligence and perseverance were evidenced by her actions while trying to solve the case. I appreciated the relationship between Stacie and her father. I liked her dog, Jasper. I was entertained by Naomi Rose-Mock's narration as her performance kept my attention engaged in the tale. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.
