Review: It Happened One Plight (Bobbi Sue Baxter Mysteries Book 4) by Marissa Shrock

About the Book
A first date. A shocking murder. And a conspiracy that could get her killed.

In the summer of 1988 in Wildcat Springs, Indiana, aspiring journalist Bobbi Sue Baxter is ready for a totally normal first date with the handsome Hemi Miller. But in her life, normal never seems to stick. Before they can finish their picnic, Bobbi Sue’s world is turned upside down. Her last summer at home has already been a whirlwind of secrets, but she never expected it to include a dead body in her dad's office.

The victim is Morris Fulton, a recently exonerated man her father helped free from prison. Now, the police are swarming, and their number one suspect is none other than Juanita St. James—Bobbi Sue’s mentor and the investigative reporter who inspired her. With Juanita framed and her own parents still missing, Bobbi Sue knows she can’t stand by and wait for the truth to surface. She has to find it herself.

Can she expose the real killer and clear her mentor's name before she becomes the next headline? Fans of nostalgic mysteries, plucky amateur sleuths, and small-town secrets will love this gripping fourth installment of the Bobbi Sue Baxter Mysteries.


MY THOUGHTS

This is one of my favorite cozy mystery series, so I was ecstatic when I saw this new installment. It did not disappoint. In fact, I think it’s my favorite of the series.

The mystery was really good and kept me guessing. The suspense kept building until the thrilling conclusion.

It was great seeing Bobbi Sue and Hemi finally go on their first date. And even though it didn’t exactly go as planned, it was great seeing their relationship progress.

I know I say this every book, but I love that this series is set in the 80s. It’s such a fun time! And I loved seeing Grandma again. She’s such a hoot!

I didn’t want this book to end. I loved it so much! If you’re a fan of cozy mysteries, don’t hesitate to pick up a copy of this series. It’s fantastic!

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

FIVE STARS
