In this new mystery series from New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Rowe, the irreverent, underappreciated, and alarmingly talented Mia Murphy risks it all to do the right thing...even if it means doing the wrong thing.
About the Book:
All Mia Murphy wants is an ordinary, law-abiding life.
Accidentally marrying a drug kingpin? Easily fixed with an anonymous tip to the FBI...which resulted in a not-so-voluntary, surprisingly stressful stint as an undercover spy against him.
But with her ex finally in prison and assassins in her rearview mirror, Mia is off to Diamond Lake in Bass Derby, Maine with King Tut, her rescue (aka purloined) cat, to start over.
Upon arrival, Mia quickly finds a couple of soulmates in a blue-haired "I'll show you what old is" café owner and a baton-twirling mail carrier. Life is headed in the right direction...until the trio stumbles across a dead body during a slightly illegal but well-intentioned home invasion.
When one of her new besties is arrested for the murder, Mia is the only one with the skills to ferret out the real killer...but she can't afford to resurrect her morally flexible past. Can Mia keep her life on the straight and narrow with so much at stake? Or will a homicidal, jet-skiing moose, a dead Mr. January firefighter, and an overzealous mayor take them all down?
Mia has to step up, or she'll lose her chance for the life she's always wanted and the friends she's never had. Even worse, she might wind up dead...
My Review:
Mia Murphy is a former petty thief who also got tangled up with a drug lord. After turning on him, getting him convicted, and surviving an assassination attempt, all Mia wants is to lie low and live an ordinary life. Buying a marina in a small Maine town seemed like the perfect plan. Yeah, about that plan...Mia soon finds herself on opposing sides of jet skiing moose, avoiding incompetent Chiefs of Police, drooling over a certain cop, and aiding and abetting her new friends, Hattie an Lucy, in a homicide investigation. So much for lying low and trying out the ordinary lifestyle.
Poor Mia leaves her old life behind to start fresh and new but the town of Derby Bass has other ideas. She gets tangled up with Hattie and Lucy and when they discover a dead body, one her new friends is immediately considered a suspect. Now it looks like Mia might have to rely her previous like to help catch a killer.
Double Twist is a humorous mystery with great characters. Mia is snarky and hilarious. Hattie is a really bad influence, and I love her. Lucy is low-key but as enjoyable as Mia and Hattie. The story is fast-paced and I was engaged from the synopsis. The book, characters, and setting are all captivating and I enjoyed the romp through Derby Bass, Maine.
I was provided a copy of this book to read.
