Digging Up Daisy (A Mainely Murder Mystery)
In a fresh new Maine-set cozy from author Sherry Lynn, Kinsley Clark must root out a killer before the killer roots out her.
At twenty-nine, Kinsley Clark is living the dream life she always envisioned for herself. She’s the proud owner of SeaScapes, a thriving landscaping company in wealthy Harborside, set on the rugged coast of southern Maine. Kinsley’s veins are filled with salty air, a myriad of colors, and the fragrance of fresh blooms. But one afternoon, while working at her aunt Tilly’s bed-and-breakfast, the Salty Breeze Inn, Kinsley digs up more than she bargained for—a high-heeled shoe. The once sparkly shoe, now caked in mud, is linked to a case the police had appropriately dubbed the "Cinderella Murder."
Kinsley panics. Does this mean that her aunt and the inn are somehow connected to this murder? Will it scare away potential guests? Will it subject the inn to a rush of bad press? With Aunt Tilly’s reputation, and possibly her safety, on the line, Kinsley digs deeper into the crime to find out what the shoe was doing on her aunt’s property and who murdered Cinderella, whose real name is Daisy. As she investigates, more suspects rise to the surface, and eventually, Kinsley has to weed out a killer.
What I Thought:
First, I would really love to live in the setting of this series. The Maine Coast is the ideal location to me and the way the author described this setting made it even more appealing to me. Kinsley is a landscape artist in Harborside Maine. It is time for the Walk Inns tours for the town and Kinsley is busy getting all the businesses gardens in tip top shape. She is working at her Aunt Tilly’s Inn The Salty Breeze and she digs up a clue to the murder of a woman visiting Harborside. Kinsley investigates so her Aunt does not lose any business and to make sure her Aunt is safe and it is not a guest who is the murderer. I enjoyed the plot of this story and it flowed well, making it a quick read. Again, I enjoyed the setting very much. I thought Kinsley was a well-developed character and I enjoyed reading about her friendship with Becca and how loyal she is to her Aunt Tilly. There were many twists and turns with many suspects that kept me guessing. Kinsley thinks the murder is solved but is totally taken by surprise, but then again, she did have a gut feeling. I thought the ending was done very well, it kind of surprised me and came totally out of the blue. I will definitely be reading more in this series.
