The Sound of Murder
The West Side Murder
Little Shop of Murder

Oh my goodness, Ruby finds herself in mixed in up in trouble again. The author does a fantastic job with this boxed trio of cozy murders set amongst a musical theater troupe. Ruby and her buddy, Nova, find themselves solving murders around famous musical plays. The stories are quite entertaining. They will have you rolling in laughter. You will probably even find yourself humming Ruby’s “clue songs” to the tune of songs from the play. I do love the stories because they are clean and wholesome. This is always a nice change for me. It is sooo very refreshing. The tone is light; yet, the mystery is always serious. The characters, both supporting and main, are well-developed and relatable. West Side Murder was my favorite as the main story involves a senior living community at odds. It was just like the plot of West Side Story. These were seniors with attitude. Loved everything about it. On top of it, she had to deal with a new boyfriend and whether or not she wanted a long distance relationship and a colleague out to get her (still waiting to see how that one will end up). This is quite the entertaining, exciting, and humorous set. I do believe that you must read this set. You’ll have a great time reading it and trying to figure out who did it. It’s not that easy to figure out. The author did a bang-up job hiding the killer. Jump in and solve the mysteries. ( )
