A Gossip Cozy Mystery #4
The Case of the Butterscotch Burglars
At the Butterscotch Boutique, there’s always time for murder…
Ex-spy, Charlotte Mission, has solved more cases than she cares to remember at this point, not that she’s complaining. Life at the Gossip Inn is interesting, but not “solving a murder case” interesting—there are cats to care for, guests to feed, and cupcakes to bake. And with her grandmother celebrating a birthday, she’s never been busier.
Until the local owner of the Butterscotch Boutique, the most exclusive clothing store in town, presents her with an “unsolvable” mystery.
How did thieves break into the store without leaving a trace, or showing their faces on the surveillance system?
Charlie’s on the case, and when the boutique owner’s husband drops dead, she knows there’s more to this mystery than a few missing cashmere sweaters…
Can she figure out whodunit in time? Or will her worst enemy, the detective, stop her? Find out in the latest cozy tale in the Gossip Cozy Mystery Series.

With Thanksgiving coming up along with Gamma's surprise party (but is there really such a thing as keeping a secret from a former spy? lol), Charlie had her plate full when she accepted another fixer job. Then when that woman's husband was killed, there was a murder to deal with. But...all the fun spy gadgets and recon that Gamma and Charlie got to do went along with it. I love that they've trusted Lauren to know some of their secrets, although she was definitely over the top excited to help--I couldn't help thinking Gamma might've been regretting that lol.
I really love how Gamma and Charlie do all the spy work then Charlie gathers the needed evidence and leaves it for the police to find. Gee I wonder if Det. Aaron will ever catch on? Will he and Charlie ever get that elusive date they keep dancing around? Read it and see! I'm a little behind in the series and have a couple more to go until I'm caught up.

Book 4 had me on the edge of my seat dying to see what happened. I love these characters as well. The continuous mystery between who really did it kept me pondering. When I finally finished the book I was left shocked. Gammy is one of my favorite characters in the series. I also love how Charlie is determined to solve all the problems in Gossip.

Awesome
Burglary, Murder, Birthday Party & a holiday. All in a days work for Charlie. Lots going on in this one and the ending is great. I can't wait to see what happens next.
