Review: Furballs and Felonies (A Purr-fect Relic Cozy Mystery #3) by DeAnna Drake

About the Book
What’s worse than a murder victim on your doorstep?

For Rebecca Cuthbert, it’s finding a cursed Egyptian charm tucked into the dead woman’s pocket. The ominous discovery propels the fearless shopkeeper and her immortal, chatty cat on a perilous hunt for the killer and another piece of the missing magical collection.

As her investigation delves into the amulet’s eerie peculiarities and the deceased’s shocking connections with a menacing foe, as well as an unwelcome old flame from Rebecca’s past, Rebecca doesn’t know who to trust. Can she rely on her newfound friends in her adopted hometown, or will deadly revelations turn her into the killer’s next target?

Prepare to journey through unexpected twists, ancient mysteries, and a dash of romance in this cozy mystery that will keep you guessing till the very end!


MY THOUGHTS

This has quickly become one of my favorite cozy mystery series. The mysteries are always intriguing and keep me guessing, the characters are realistic and likable, and the town is inviting and full of charm.

After helping best friend Luna paint her new bakery, Rebecca finds a dead woman right outside her grandfather’s shop. One of her grandfather’s missing artifacts is found in the woman’s pocket. What was she doing with it? And did it have anything to do with her murder?

Along with this new mystery and the powerful and dangerous cursed artifact, Rebecca also had to deal with her ex-fiancé coming into town. What a jerk! I didn’t like him before, and meeting him sure didn’t raise my opinion of him. I’m so glad Rebecca has moved on from him.

I was completely stumped by the mystery. There were plenty of suspects, but I couldn't figure out who the guilty party was.

This book ended with a surprise, which has me so excited for book four. I can’t wait! This series is sure to delight fans of paranormal cozy mysteries. I highly recommend it!

I received a copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
