Pumpkins in Paradise by Kathi Daley

5.0

---

TJ Jensen is a new series for Kathi Daley. In this one, TJ finds the body of her elderly friend and then must untangle a mystery that stretches back decades. There are quite a few characters but they are sorted out quickly with not much confusion about who is who. The town is so inviting-lots of quirky as we expect from Kathi! I liked TJ as a character and the way she was so believable in the way she approached the mystery while still grieving for her friend and dealing with own home life. The hunky Deputy could have been just another pretty face but he has some depth and a back story that was unexpected-I can’t wait to see how this romance plays out. As always, Kathi gives the reader well written characters, realistic situations and a good little puzzle of a murder mystery. I’m looking forward to many more with TJ!!
