Love, Honour, and O'Brien by Jennifer Rowe
4.0
This is the first of Jennifer Rowe's new Holly Love cozy mystery series. Her previous series have been in a more serious vein than this but I found this very enjoyable. It's set in the Blue Mountains where Ms Rowe herself lives and has an engaging and eccentric cast of characters perfect for creative set that historically has lived there. The area is beautifully evoked for those who know it.
Holly has dumped her boring fiancee and life in Perth to move to Sydney. She falls for Andrew McNish (love that name) only to find herself abandoned, homeless, unemployed and broke in the Blue Mountains. Determined to find the thieving Andrew and get her life savings back she hires PI O'Brien only to have him drop dead. Somehow she gets his home, parrot, neighbours and his voice in her head.
She's not the only one looking for Andrew the ultimate con artist and we go with her on a very clever plot journey with wonderful characters that manages to combine wit to the point of hilarity with excellent tension. I loved it.
