Nothing But Trouble

I read suspense occasionally, westerns rarely, historical fiction often, romantic comedy a lot, but I really enjoy a good cozy mystery. Susan May Warren’s new book titled Nothing but Trouble (PJ Sugar Series #1) is better than good!

It has all the classic cozy mystery elements: a busy single girl, one dead body, a friend in trouble, and 2 guys that are interested in the single girl.  Then it has it’s own unique elements: Russian in-laws, one dead goat in the back of the car, a strict pre-school academy, and no pizza delivery.

PJ Sugar knows three things for sure:1) After traveling the country for ten years hoping to shake free from the trail of disaster that’s become her life, she needs a fresh start.

2) The last person she wants to see when she heads home for her sister’s wedding is Boone – her former flame and the reason she left town.

3) Her best friend’s husband absolutely did not commit the first murder Kellogg, Minnesota, has seen in more than a decade.

What PJ doesn’t know is that when she starts digging for evidence, she’ll uncover much more than she bargained for-a deadly conspiracy, a knack for investigation, and maybe, just maybe, that fresh start she’s been longing for.

It’s not fair to say that trouble happens every time PJ Sugar is around, but it feels that way when she returns to her home town, looking for a fresh start. Within a week, her former teacher is murdered and her best friend’s husband is arrested as the number-one suspect. Although the police detective investigating the murder—who also happens to be PJ’s former flame—is convinced it’s an open-and-shut case, PJ’s not so sure. She begins digging for clues in an effort to clear her friend’s husband and ends up reigniting old passions, uncovering an international conspiracy, and solving a murder along the way. She also discovers that maybe God can use a woman who never seems to get it right.

Nothing But Trouble has a great ending, but Susan May Warren left some loose ends hanging and I’m eagerly awaiting the next PJ Sugar book.
