Cassie Coburn Mystery #7
Murder in Mayfair
There's murder and mayhem in Mayfair today...
When Violet calls Cassie over to investigate a murder in Mayfair, Cassie figures it's going to be a pretty easy solve, especially when they immediately hone in on a main suspect. But things get a lot more complicated when it turns out the suspect has an airtight alibi.
Meanwhile, things at home are going to get more hectic for Cassie when Jake has a brand new surprise to show her. And why do the nightmares that started when Cassie was officially registered as a doctor refuse to go away?
Between everything going on at home and inside her head, will Cassie be able to help Violet solve the case, or is it all going to be too much 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.

Il s'agit du tome 7 des aventures de Cassie Coburn. J'aime beaucoup cette série pour son originalité, ses tomes courts, et ses personnages sympas. Le fait qu'il y ait des animaux ne gâche rien. Ici, on retrouve Biscuit, mais aussi Séquoïa, adorable chienne, et ses petits !
Cassie et Violette vont devoir résoudre une nouvelle affaire : le professeur Silverton a été, bien entendu, assassiné ! L'enquête semble assez simple...
Cassie, par ailleurs, fait des cauchemars, à propos de son nouveau métier (elle est récemment diplômée) : médecin
Ce tome est tout aussi sympa que le précédent : intéressant, plein d'humour ! Les animaux sont adorables, la vie personnelle de Cassie m'intéresse, ici il y a un ou deux changements, notamment dans sa relation avec Jake
Il y a définitivement un petit côté Hercule Poirot (Violette pas très modeste, et le partenariat entre celle-ci et Cassie), particulièrement dans ce tome (vers la fin)
Quelques côtés négatifs toutefois :
- L'intrigue se répète un peu par rapport au tome précédent, de sorte que j'ai cru qu'il y avait une erreur dans l'exemplaire que j'avais entre les mains...ou que l'autrice ne savait pas où elle allait
- Cassie semble avoir oublié qu'elle veut devenir médecin urgentiste. Elle ne sait à nouveau plus quelle spécialité elle veut faire
- Toute la surprise du dénouement de l'enquête repose sur le fait que l'alibi ne tient pas. Cependant tout au long du livre je me suis demandé pourquoi Violette pensait que l'alibi tenait forcément. En effet, le meurtrier pouvait très bien avoir un complice etc. Du coup c'était pas tellement une surprise mais bon, c'était quand même bien fait
- Violette est trop parfaite. Elle ne se trompe jamais, sait tout faire etc
Mais bon, j'ai beaucoup aimé ce tome, et il m'en reste encore quelques-uns à lire, et je pense pouvoir terminer la série cette année (du moins s'il n'y a plus de tomes à paraître). Je vous conseillerais bien de vous lancer dans cette série, si ce n'est déjà fait, car ce n'est pas mal du tout.

This should be a 3.5 because of the animals in the story. I did not like the resolution of the mystery as I couldn't guess the outcome and villain of the piece. The story again involves Cassie and Violet who solve a murder that baffles the police. There was a lot of plotting by the murderer and I was again fooled when the killer got unveiled. I liked the animal interest in this story an was happy to read about them as a subplot or just for change of pace. I enjoy the whole series- the fact that there is a female detective who can rival S Holmes for reading a customer, a scene or putting facts together is a plus in my book.

poor Biscuit
This is my least favorite of the series so far as it didn’t keep my interest as well as the earlier books. It was fine just not up to par. Much of the book dealt with the adopted dog. As long as it was on dogs, my mind kept wandering to the corgi owned by one of the suspects but ignored but for that fact. Speaking of ignored, the poor cat, Biscuit, adopted in an earlier book was regularly walked. No more. Poor Biscuit. If the next book is no better than this one I’ll probably give up on the series.

This book was just okay. Why is Cassie troubling over a chosen specialty? Didn’t she decide in the last book to do emergency medicine? Also, when did she finish her degree? Suddenly she is a doctor without going to school to achieve her final credits? And why is she having to do surgery on Violet in every story? This book seemed rushed and recycled from previous storylines. I did enjoy the side quest of the foster dog, and liked the addition of a therapist to Cassie’s life. Other than that this book was a dud.

Love this author!!
When I first started reading the Western Woods series I bought a few of the other series as well. I was the first book in the Cassie series on Amazon s daily deals and thought why not. I have been let down!!! The mystery and humor that makes him this series is what makes me read it in one sitting!! I'm hoping that I don't really have to wait a whole year for the next book but I will!! And just reread the series again!!!

Violet invites Cassie to join her in what should be a simple case as Cassie is going through some things and needs the distraction.
A Roman history teacher has been murdered and there are not too many suspects.
But the case becomes more interesting than either one thought ending in Violet getting seriously injured, and the new Dr. Cassie Coburn has to call on her medical knowledge to save her friend's life.

I don’t agree with previous posters, I found this book delightful! The writer took a new way to spin us and I am here for it. Incorporating the animals was heartwarming and I enjoy that the writer gives us a big mystery and a mini mystery in the mix. I just started her books in January 2025, and it’s only February 2025 and I am done with book 7!!! She is a fabulous writer and I am enjoying her! I look forward to reading all of her books!

murder in Mayfair
Loved these books. They are fast reads and you can’t wait to find the next book. I’d recommend starting on the first book to make better sense of the way these two women connect. It’s nice when you read about two very different types become fast friends and over come differences.

Very good entry into the series. Cassie learns some things about herself and together with Violet, they track down the murderer of an esteemed academic. I enjoyed the twists and turns and look forward to the next in the series.

This is an amazing series! I aspire to be Mrs. Michaels in my later years! I hope that Theresa will become a regular character and that Cassie and Jake will adopt Sequoia. Definitely looking forward to the next one!

Cassie and Violet do it again but throw a mama dog and some puppies in and the story is that much sweeter.

The dynamic between Cassie and Violet is fun to see develop. I like that Cassie is finding her niche in medicine and her romantic life is moving along.

July 21, 2021I love this series. The main reason for this is that most cozy series by book 7, have established the main character and her main man (usually the police detective in a small town) as the crime solvers. This series is about Cassie and Violet. Period. It's 2 incredibly smart women working together and solving crimes. It's about THEIR friendship. The man in Cassie's life is a side part of the story even in books where he's actually appeared or been helpful to the plot. The relationship isn't the focus and it is refreshing to see.
