When a suspicious death takes the life of a friend, our psychic sleuth must expose a killer’s dirty laundry…
Mitzy Moon hopes for a normal day running errands. And this time, she’s determined to get her grandmother’s couture properly cleaned. But her day gets stuck in a spin cycle when she encounters crime-scene tape at the dry cleaner’s and a puzzling murder.
With her only way into the case through an undercover stint in the women’s wrestling league, Mitzy charges ahead with little help from her mentor, Ghost-ma, or her entitled feline. But if the bell rings before she corners the suspect, more lives could end up on the ropes.
Can Mitzy hold a murderer down for the count, or will she be taken out in a lethal smackdown?
Ropes and Last Hopes is the prequel novella to the hilarious new paranormal cozy mystery series, Harper and Moon Investigations. If you like snarky heroines, supernatural intrigue, and a dash of romance, then you’ll love Trixie Silvertale’s wedded whodunits.
My Review
I have read all of the Mitzy Moon Mysteries and was bummed to hear that there wouldn’t be any more…until I found out that Mitzy’s adventures would continue with her future husband, Erick, as Harper & Moon Investigators! I was happy to read this prequel.
Mitzy is at her usual tricks. She comes across a murder (at least she didn’t find the body this time) of an old friend of her ghostly grandmother. Of course, she’s planning on helping with the investigation as she always does. Her fiancé has accepted the fact that she’s going to help on investigations, but the deputy, Paulsen, doesn’t like Mitzy or her “nosiness.”
Mitzy goes undercover as a wrestler which is fun and funny. She learns a lot through her psychic powers, and Erick’s team is able to get enough evidence to bring all the pieces of the puzzle together. They make a great team!
I love these stories and feel like I know the characters of Pin Cherry Harbor well. Along with Mitzy and Erick, each character has their own quirkiness. She even has a psychic caracal that she inherited from her grandma. He often offers clues that help the investigations along once she can figure out what the clues mean.
I’m looking forward to reading the first book in the Harper & Moon series!
