The Body in the Attic by Judi Lynn

5.0

What a great read! If you’re looking for a cozy that combines wonderful characters, a delectable murder mystery plot rife with numerous suspects and stellar writing, look no farther! I loved this entertaining introduction to a new series by author Judi Lynn. Jazzi and her cousin Jerod flip houses along with Ansel, a local contractor who helps with the gut-and-remodel work. They make a great team and have a wonderful friendship (although there are plenty of sparks under the surface between Jazzi and Ansel). The latest house they undertake comes complete with a body in a trunk in the attic. And that’s just the beginning of this twisty read that delves into secret histories, family dynamics, old rivalries and more.

George, the pug, is a fun addition, as are Jazzi’s weekly Sunday dinners with her large and colorful family. I felt like I got to know each of them. I also really enjoyed seeing how the remodel job on house progressed, and loved watching the whodunit murder mystery unfold.

I can’t wait for the next book in this engaging series!
