I truly enjoyed this book! Let me just start by saying that these lighthearted murder mysteries are usually not what I go for. I enjoy reading either humor/romance or murder mystery. But this book was laugh-out-loud funny to me all along - and I don't mean just huff out of your nose, I mean actual belly laugh funny.
The main character, Cambria, is down on her luck, taking in a position she knows nothing about in an apartment complex were things just go from bad to worse as the days pass. She is witty, awkward, and so relatable that I couldn't help but root for her from the first pages on.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes a little mystery and a lot of fun to lighten up these dark quarantine days.

Jobless and about-to-become homeless, Cambria Clyne lands a job as an apartment manager. Her initial elation is dulled once she meets the assorted personalities living in the complex; and then there’s the matter of the dead body she discovered in the dumpster.
Cambria was such an entertaining character. She’s observant but is prone to jumping to conclusions. Her curiosity in finding the murderer is well intentioned but using investigative skills learned from TV crime shows is likely not the best way to proceed. In brief, she’s a nutter who thinks too much and talks too much, but she is a very sympathetic character. I liked her a lot.
With many tenants taking exception to her management style, the murder investigation does at times simmer in the background as Cambria tries to maintain some semblance of control. However it all ties up nicely in the end.
FRENCH VANILLA & FELONIES by Erin Huss is book one in the Cambria Clyne Mystery series. I’ll definitely be reading more books in this series.
