First, let me apologize for my long absence. I was very ill for the past five months, in and out of the hospital and Rehab. I hope to continue writing my blog two or three times a week. But, on to the review.
A Little Revenge in Robin Hood's Bay is Book 7 in the cozy mystery series by Christina Hamlett. The main characters, Rocky and Jon, are busy planning their upcoming wedding. Rocky's friend, Audrey has asked her to be Maid of Honor at her own wedding. No two weddings could be further apart in the planning. Rocky's future mother-in-law has taken on the task of planning an elegant wedding for her son, Jon, and Rocky which leaves Rocly free to help her friend plan her wedding.
At the same time, her close friend, Cybbie, has fallen in love once again with a man she has only seen once. Cybbie tends to fall in love with every man she encounters. Just as she meets the newest man of her dreams, a policewoman asks him, Professor Vance, if the bookkeeper for the bands he manages is Sierra Clifford, then announces she is dead.
Cybbie asks Rocky to accompany her to a village in England on the North Sea called Robin Hood's Bay. Professor Vance, Chad, has invited her to come for a weekend so they can get to know one another better. Rocky perks up at the thought of going where the murder of Sierra Clifford happened. Somehow, she cannot resist becoming part of a murder investigation.
She moves back and forth between trying to figure out the murder and her duties as Audrey's Maid of Honor and being with Jon as much as possible, as well as placating Cybbie when Chad turns out to be a different person than she'd made up in her mind. The pace is fast and furious with Rocky attempting to handle several things at once. The murder in Robin Hood's Bay ranks at the top of her To-Do List.
Ms Hamlett treats us to snappy language and another good story in this cozy mystery--a mystery where there is no violence, is set in a small town, with an amateur sleuth. A Little Revenge in Robin Hood's Bay gives us all of this. Book 7 of the series doesn't disappoint. It can be purchased through Amazon for your Kindle or as a paperback as well as other online book retailers.
