The Lettering Detective #2

A Murder in Cursive

Rate this book
When an old woman dies onboard the lettering shop with a Cajun curse on her lips, the bad luck really starts to rain on Mila Breaux. She’s not sure she believes in the supernatural, but the more strange events take place, the more it seems to believe in her! With the help of her best friend Critter Girl, and a handsome game warden named Xavier Ordoyn, Mila will need to dodge the hex while getting vengeance for the dead woman. Misfortune is not the only thing trying to stop her, however, and she’ll have to act fast to get to the bottom of things, before it is too late!

This is book two of the Lettering Detective series by renowned lettering artist Lisa Pevey (@nolalettering). It can be read as a standalone novel, and is great for those who love southern charm, quirky best friends, cute cats and stationery crafts!

I couldn't put this down. It was hard to stop reading at the end of any chapter because I really wanted to see what was going to happen next. I enjoyed the close friendships and growth in relationships. I also loved the possible magic twist, without giving anything away. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.

In Book 2 of The Lettering Detective series an old woman dies onboard the lettering shop as she places a Cajun curse on Mila. The only way she can break it is to avenge the woman's death. She and her sidekick "Critter Girl" never intended to get involved in another case, but they find themselves pulled in to it anyway. This was another great addition to the series.

A good YA murder mystery, better than the first one I think. Still predictable, yes, but it's YA so I guess that's to be expected!

The second book was just as good as the first. This one deals with corrupt lawyers and voodoo. I hope there are more.
