Cara Mia Delgatto Mystery, Book 5

By: Joanna Campbell Slan

Narrated by: Em Eldridge

When a young caregiver is falsely accused of stealing from her elderly client, Cara Mia Delgatto refuses to stand by with her mouth shut. That famous Italian temper of Cara's is hotter than a bottle rocket. Instead of ignoring the girl's plight, Cara launches her own investigation, even though she has plenty to keep her busy at her store, The Treasure Chest, a shop specializing in upcycling, recycling, and repurposing with a coastal theme. If that wasn't enough, Cara's new beau has disappeared—vanished!—and she's forced to wonder how her taste in men could possibly be so bad? Meanwhile, she's assisting two brides-to-be as they plan their weddings and occasionally acting as referee when the two women clash over dates for their nuptials. And yeah, then there's that online bashing her reputation is taking. Otherwise, it's just another sunny day in Paradise!

Sad

I can't say that I enjoyed this book. It's very sad and depressing. The interactions between Skye and the other characters were nonexistent and it was filled with hopelessness. This is not what I look for in a cozy mystery.
