Close Encounters of the Murderous Kind by Marissa Shrock, Marissa Shrock
5.0
What a great start to a new series! This was such a fun read filled with interesting characters, a setting that came to life, and a head-scratcher of a mystery.
Speaking of the mystery, it was so good! Bobbi Sue didn't really see an alien, right? But if she didn't, then what actually happened? When it became apparent that a murder had taken place around the same time as the "close encounter", I couldn't read fast enough. I had to try and figure out what was going on. I thought I had it figured out multiple times, but I ended up being so surprised.
I loved the fact that this book was set during the 1980s. You don't see that too often, so that added a nice little twist, plus I enjoyed all the 80s references.
I highly, highly recommend this book to fans of cozy mysteries. I can't wait to solve more mysteries alongside Bobbi Sue!
I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
