Who Do, Voodoo? by Rochelle Staab
3.0
Who Do, Voodoo? by Rochelle Staab is a cozy mystery set in California and featuring clinical psychologist Liz Cooper as the protagonist. Her best friend Robin finds tarot cards on her front door and is then accused of murder. So Liz teams up with her brother’s best friend, Nick, a professor and an expert in the occult, to find the real killer.
Liz and Nick were likeable characters. Readers get to see Liz’s relationship with Robin as well as her relationship with her brother and mother. Nick doesn’t have as much depth as a character.
For some reason, the book did not grab my attention like I thought it would. The most memorable character is Liz’s mom and that is mainly due to the situations she puts Liz in. The story was somewhat interesting and the conclusion pulled together all of the threads. The killer was a little too easy to determine although there is a twist or two that might take readers down another path.
Overall, this was a light and entertaining story. It was a reasonably quick read between other books, but it was somewhat predictable. Additionally, the beginning was a little slow.
Opinions are mine alone and are not biased in any way.
