chez_jaeJust finished reading Murder Past Due by Miranda James. It's the first in the cozy mystery series featuring library archivist Charlie Harris and his cat Diesel. I'm such a sucker for cats and cozy mysteries!
Local boy turned millionaire, best-selling author Godfrey Priest returns to Athena. He and Charlie were classmates in school, where Godfrey was a bully and a jerk. When Godrey is found murdered in his hotel room, another friend asks Charlie to look into the mystery.
The book was interesting, although not engrossing. I don't often read books with a male protagonist's first person pov, so that took some getting used to. I enjoyed the story, however. I was kept guessing right up to the end as to "who dunnit".
I have a few more books in the series, and I look forward to reading them.
Three stars:
★★★
