Carita Cove #4
The Hidden Homicide
Maggie faces her most confusing case yet when she finds a treasured beaded knife–in someone's back! Can she figure out what happened before anyone else ends up dead? And when her buddy, movie star Reese Stevens, tries to make a fresh start after falling off the wagon, can Maggie keep him from going off-track?
Maggie McJasper is starting over in a little California beach town. She has a bead shop, a nice circle of friends, and a handsome movie star who keeps flirting with her. Life would be pretty great if she could just stop stumbling over dead bodies….
Do you like dogs, crafts, quirky friends, a slow-building romance between grownups who genuinely like each other, and a twisty little mystery with red herrings galore? Then this is for you.
The Maggie & Jasper Capers are fun and flirty cozies, with no swearing or love scenes, and no gruesome violence to keep you up at night.

I found this book series on by downloading the first book for free and I have enjoyed all of the following books. I love the way that the main character Maggie goes about following her intuition, even though others around her try to dissuade her. In the 4th book, Maggie meets a fellow bead expert and of course she finds a dead body. This book did have me guessing who the actual murderer was until the end. I am not sold on the love story between her and the movie star Reese but it does make for some interesting conversations.

A very good mystery. The story moved swiftly with quite a few twists that left me turning the pages as fast I could to read the reveal. Her relationship with Reese is becoming more complicated and Reese is still struggling with the his own personal demons.

Wow!
How confusing can a murder mystery be? This one stumped me and I'm sure others too! But I do love a good mystery. Also I can see how our two heroes are definitely falling faster in love with each other. Maggie has pretty much decided that she wants Stanley in her life full time. Now she must decide how quickly this relationship will move. Can't wait for the next book.

Interesting!
Maggie and Reese are at a farmworkers bar Blair when a violent murder occurs! Reese is still suffering from v the fatal drug overdose he received in the previous book! He is vulnerable and afraid v so Maggie helps him search for his " ranch" while also investigating the murder. Good plot, unexpected solution, and great main characters!

I love this series
That's books just keep getting better and better. This was no exception. It was a really good mystery about a troubling subject. Every one should read about Maddy, Reese and Jasper!

Good book
Interesting storyline. Maggie eventually ends up solving the murder. I liked the further development of Reese's character- it adds an interesting common thread to the series. Looming forward to reading the next book.

Good story
Easy reading. The Maggie and Jasper stories are very lite but still keep you thinking who the real culprit is

Good Read
My only issue was with the culture names, I couldn't find a way of sounding them out. The stories have been good reads.
