Mango Cake and Murder
Mango Cake and Murder: A Comedy Cozy Mystery | Christy Murphy
4 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
What do you get when you combine mango cake, murder, and Mom? An unlikely recipe for a better life! When Mom convinces Christy to ditch her “lousy” job and help with the catering business, their fledgling partnership suffers a few setbacks. One of them can’t cook, they’re short a catering van, and the guest of honor at their first party is murdered. That would be bad enough, but then, Christy’s cousin, Celia, becomes the prime suspect. Solving a murder is no easy task, but when drunken death threats, a dashing detective, and terrifying taxidermy are added into the mix, the case becomes almost impossible to crack. Who knew a small town like Fletcher Canyon could be filled with so much craziness? Will the disaster-prone duo find the real killer before Celia’s reputation is destroyed, or will Celia end up in prison for murder? Find out in this comedy cozy! This novella is the first book in the Mom and Christy’s Cozy Mysteries series, and is a complete mystery that you can read in an hour or two. No strong language. No graphic violence. Cute cat!

1. Sunday was our associate pastor‘s birthday, and we had this delicious mango cake (no murder, thankfully).
2. Upgrades at the local park.
3. Another art show at the community center. This work is called Basin of Beauty.
4. My spouse made a delicious (but not photogenic) lasagna, using tortillas instead of noodles.
5. My friends are still looking for a cat, but I saw on the shelter‘s website that the mouthy kitten was adopted. #5joysfriday

This cozy mystery was good, but not great. The storyline wasn't as developed as others I've read, and almost seemed rushed.

umbrellagirl Sounds like a Joanne Fluke title. 5y
CoffeeNBooks @umbrellagirl Yes, it does! Not nearly as good as a Joanne Fluke book, though. 5y

I have never read a cozy (or any other genre, for that matter) about an American Filipino family. I was charmed by Christy, her Mom and other relatives. The cat in this story made me laugh.
