Have
you ever taken a big gulp out of a glass of sweet tea only to discover it was
Pepsi? You like Pepsi, but at that moment your brain is startled and that first
swallow just doesn't seem right. Expecting the style of writing in Orchard's
Port Aster Secrets series, A Fool & His Monet was a bit of a shock to my
brain at first. In the same way a few more sips of Pepsi brings back your equilibrium
and you enjoy the rest of the glass, a few more chapters of this book and I
enjoyed it for the cozy mystery it is.
While
Serena Jones is the FBI agent on the Art Crimes Team, she is not the only
sleuth in the family. Her mystery loving Aunt Martha finds ways to actively
involve herself in Serena's cases, and to put herself in danger. When two
paintings go missing from a St. Louis museum, there is no shortage of suspects
and theories. There is also no shortage of men who would like to be considered
a love interest in Serena's life. The author even provides a web site where
readers can vote for which love interest they would like for Serena pursue.
Fans of
Lorena McCourtney's Ivy Malone Mysteries are sure to love Sandra Orchard's Serena
Jones Mysteries. I recommend A Fool & His Monet to cozy mystery fans and those
looking for a lighthearted read. I thank Revell Publishing and the Christian
Blog Alliance for providing this book for my honest opinion. I received no
monetary compensation for providing this review.
