Callie Cassidy Mysteries, Book 3

De: Lori Roberts Herbst

Narrado por: Lillian Baxter

A murder at the local hockey rink leaves photographer Callie Cassidy nursing a few injuries of her own, but that won’t stop her from trying to catch the killer—before someone else gets iced…

No one has ever labeled Callie Cassidy a romantic.

As Valentine's Day rolls around and villagers drape hearts and Cupids across every surface, she's just not that into it.

Besides, with her own second-chance romance on rocky turf and her best friend's engagement to a man Callie doesn’t entirely trust, she's in even less of a mood to celebrate the month of love.

So when hockey coach Renata Sanchez asks for Callie’s help getting her annoying ex-husband to leave Rock Creek Village, Callie jumps at the distraction—despite knowing Renata’s brother, Detective Raul Sanchez, will be likely to bristle at her interference.

But before Callie can even begin her investigation, a confrontation between Renata and her ex erupts outside Sundance Studio. Later in the day, the man drops dead, falling from the hockey arena catwalk and landing with a thud on top of Callie. Renata immediately takes top spot on the suspect list, with her boyfriend Ethan MacGregor not far behind.

With time running out to save her friends, Callie must enlist the help of her inquisitive cat Carl and her loyal golden retriever Woody to develop a picture of the true culprit.

meh

The mystery is ok but the characters annoyed me. Callie us emotionally immature and makes stupid decisions. The pace of the story was slow and I skipped ahead a few times just to get to the point. Everyone is so incredibly and unrealistically happy that the story is unbelievable. I think this is my last book in this series.

Enjoyable

Callie is continuing her life as a photographer and solving mysteries. Her relationship with Sam is progressing but she is still hesitant about parts of it. She soon finds herself more involved than normal when she finds a body in front of her. Because of the nature of this crime and that she cannot seem to find her camera afterwards, she it becomes her mission to figure out who all is involved and why. As she begins to dig deeper into some of the characters involved she finds out all kinds of things that makes it harder to figure out what is going on. Soon though she finds that key piece of evidence and of course goes on her own to confront them Another great installment. I also love the antics of the creatures in the book as you wonder what part they will play in everything.
