Killed in King's Cross: A Cozy Mystery

Cassie Coburn Mystery #6

by Samantha Silver

When a body is displayed publically in King's Cross Station, the Metropolitan Police quickly find themselves embroiled in a media circus, and pull out all the stops to find the killer - including begging Violet for help.However, what Cassie thinks is going to be a regular old case quickly becomes personal, and she and Violet quickly realize there's a lot more at stake than just catching a murderer.And with the enrolment date for medical school looming, Cassie is going to have to make a decision about her future once and for all. That is, unless the murderer makes that decision for her. The Cassie Coburn mysteries are a cozy mystery series featuring a Sherlock-holmes style sleuth. If you want a light, fun, modern mystery featuring a San Francisco girl totally out of her element in London, and a crazy French woman who happens to be very good at noticing things, then this is the series for you.

Un meurtre a été commis à la gare de King's Cross ! suivi bientôt d'un deuxième meurtre au musée Sherlock Holmes, situé à Baker Street....Vite, Violette est appelée à la rescousse, et bien sûr Cassie va l'aider dans son enquête

J'ai trouvé ce tome nettement meilleur que les derniers ! Ne serait-ce qu'au niveau des dialogues, parfois amusants, ou encore touchants
J'ai aimé les relations qu'entretient Cassie avec Jake, Brianna, et Violette. De belles amitiés
Cassie est un personnage sympathique, elle est très forte, et toujours prête à secourir ses ami(e)s
L'intrigue m'a intéressée du début à la fin, particulièrement aux 2/3, où ça devient prenant
Le(a) méchant(e) fait froid dans le dos, brrr ...!
J'aime voir les noms de rues, les quartiers de Londres
Bon, en tout cas, si Violette existait vraiment, je ne voudrais pas être son amie ! elle met toujours la vie de sa meilleure amie en danger....lol, mais là, ça ne m'agace plus...au point où on en est, c'est devenu une tradition....assez amusante, lol

Voilà, bon, je suis partie pour lire tous les tomes de cette série, je crois bien ...!

I don’t often give a book 5 stars, but I loved this story. The characters are fantastic, I like Violet as much as Cassie. They work well together and was happy that Cassie is now well on her way to making a career decision. I wish my library had more books in this series, but I won’t let that stop me as I look forward to reading more from this author.

This is one of the best of the series. Cassie and Violet get involved in another murderer's spreee and have to take chances to make the culprit probe his guilt. Excitement and lots of thrills, surprises and finding a purpose for Cassie to look at a future plan that uses her past skills is just icing on the cake. I really like the friendship and cooperation and trust shown between three very different women, Brianna, Cassie and Violet.

Cassie is relaxing on her couch when there's an urgent knock on her door.
A body fell into Kings Cross station and the police are urgently trying to find Violet to get her help.
It winds up that the duo is now chasing a serial killer, and Cassie is willing to be bait in order to catch him.

This was a good story with continuing development of the characters and moving Cassie toward her goal of going back to school.

A fun cozy mystery!

Cassie and Violet save the day again! There's a serial killer on the loose and once again the police look to Violet to solve the crime. After sorting through the evidence Cassie and Violet set ours to trap the killer and several lives are out in jeopardy. Great story that keeps you engrossed until the very end.

Taking down the King

I have been reading this series since I discovered the first one. Violet is more Holmes than Holmes himself. Cassie is an excellent Watson. I recommend reading the series in order as the people develop their storylines.

Another winner

I love this series, and there had better be more coming or I'll have the mother of all hissy fits. Cassie may do something new, but she still needs to work with Violet!

Violet and Cassie are on the case

A very public murder gets the police very motivated to solve it. So naturally, they want Violet on the case.

[Sally Orchard · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good read

Another good read. Love Cassie and Violet as they work together solving crimes.
Some lovely characters and some good writing.
Sad that there are no more stories.

The killing

I really enjoyed this book. The characters are like real people and not pompous. The friendship between three people is great

[Carolynn · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really like this series. One smart nearly doctor, working with a Holmes-intelligent lady, solving crimes in London. A fun read.

[Sheri Jesse · Rating 4 out of 5]

Must be meant for children

Well written. Lively plot. Hero worship. Too much explanation. Characters are interesting. Gratuitous demeaning of police. Better than I expected.

[Carolee DeWitt · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very enjoyable book.

[Andrea Dennis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Best book in the series thus far. The villain was a mystery until the end and the story had much more depth and action than usual.

[DENISE DRAKE · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great story teller!

Keeps you on the edge of your seat. Good twists and a great friendship between Violet and Cassie.
Looking forward to next book.

Top notch Holmesian cozy flipped on it's head. A female detective team with a healthy injection of humor.
