Book 68, 2016
Aug. 29th, 2016 08:31 pmLast night, I finished the rest of Claws for Alarm, which is the second book in author TC LoTempio's cozy mystery series, "Nick & Nora".
Nora is tending her sandwich shop when her aunt calls in a panic. Seems Nora's sister Lacey has been arrested for murder. Lacey's art professor gave her such an appalling grade that she threatened to kill him i front of the entire class. Later that evening, she is found crouched over the professor's body and holding the murder weapon in her hand.
Nora knows her sister may be a hothead, but Lacey is no murderer. She begins looking into the matter, searching for other people who may have had a motive for killing the professor. Nora's investigation turns up several potential suspects. While chasing down leads, she encounters her old college rival-turned-one-night-stand, Lee Samms. He warns her to leave the investigation to the police.
Now, Nora has to search for clues, follow leads, AND avoid Samms. Fortunately for her, she has the help of her cat, Nick, who's pretty good at finding clues on his own.
Fun story with just enough potential suspects to keep me guessing, without overwhelming me. It was interesting to see how the past tied into the present in this one, too.
Favorite line: "Or did you borrow the cloak of invisibility from Harry Potter?"
Four of five:
