My review: Murder at the Mansion by Janet Finsilver (A Kelly Jackson Mystery #2)

4 Stars

Good cozy mystery.  The setting makes me want to go and stay. Redwood Cove, CA.  It is by the redwoods and on the coast and the whales are migrating.

There is plenty of drama, murder, history and still be a clean interesting read.

Kelly Jackson has moved in.  While her bread and breakfast is getting ready to open,  she is helping out at another property her boss has.  Redwood Heights is having trouble with thefts of jewelry.  Kelly finds a body or two,

Kelly has help figuring out what is going on by a group of senior citizens called the Silver Sentinels.  They were in the first book too.

I like the characters.  Really want to see more of Kelly and Scott together.  There are a bunch of other characters from the town that we meet.  Plus a bunch of new ones that are the suspects. It is a small town with lots of visitors to keep the suspect field fresh.

This has a lot of interesting facts about the town, food, whales that make the story interesting.

I would read more books in this series in the future.

I was given this ebook to read by NetGalley and Kensington Books.  In return I agreed to give a honest review of Murder at the Mansion.
