Reviews

[Helen Joyce · Rating 5 out of 5]

The third in the ‘Audrey’s Angels’ series, ‘True Grime’ doesn’t disappoint. To the contrary, Jay Larkin’s sharply drawn characters and ingenious ’stand alone’ mysteries, which comprise each chapter, have developed in each volume. The perfect book - indeed series - to intrigue and simultaneously charm, True Grime makes an excellent addition to the adventures of the intrepid Jenny Brooks. Can’t wait for book four. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommend!

[Kelly Young · Rating 5 out of 5]

True Grime, the third book in Jay Larkin's Aunt Audrey's Angels cozy mystery series, sees main character Jenny once again faced with numerous mysteries to solve, ranging from poison-pen letters, a missing jewel, vandalism, and more.
Each chapter has a new puzzle to solve for Jenny, as she also navigates the challenges of planning a wedding. With new cases each chapter, the book reads similar to an anthology, making it easy to put down and pick up later - perfect for people as busy as the main character! The variety of plots within the book keeps readers turning the pages to see what Jenny finds herself embroiled in next.
True Grime is a fun and easy read, with a variety of sub-plots that keep it moving, and even a wedding for the romantics out there.
Thank you to the author for the review copy of True Grime.
