I LOVE this series. For some reason, my review was WRONGLY showing as a 1 star. I would never give another author a 1 star. I have NO idea how this happened. Plus this is one of my favourite series. I'd give it 10 stars if i could! Great series.

Good detectives, bad cops

Love the Cassie Coburn/Violet Despuis mysteries. When a May-December marriage ends with the wealthy older wife, Anita, floating in the Thames, everyone thinks it’s the smarmy younger husband. But CC footage seems to give him an alibi. So who would murder an old lady who was already dying?
Violet combines the smarts of Poirot w/ the observational powers of Sherlock. Cassie is her American Watson. Between the two, no murderer is safe, no matter how clever they think they are.

This should be valued down to 3.5, but I really like the author and the series. There is much to like in the Cassie Coburn series about a woman with a medical degree who did not become the professional she dreamed of for years, and her friend with a supremely intelligent, and cool-minded ability to analyze problems-who works on solving mysteries in the British police department- sometimes without police approval... The series is a winner and this was a good one- not my favorite though...

I love this series. One of my favorites, I love how it’s a Sherlock type but women at the helm!

Cassie et Violette reviennent d'Egypte, et font face à un nouveau meurtre. Le corps d'une femme a été repêché de la Tamise. Vont elles trouver l'assassin ?
De son côté, Cassie fait des remplacements au service des urgences...

J'ai bien aimé, le début en Egypte, cela a un petit côté Hercule Poirot. Cependant, le début est un peu lent
Il y a de nouveaux thèmes, notamment Cassie travaille aux urgences, il y a un petit côté médical avec des descriptions des cas à soigner
J'aime bien la relation entre Jake et Cassie, elle est simple, sans rien de compliqué, cela change un peu des petits drames amoureux dans d'autres cosy mysteries ;)
Je ne me suis pas ennuyée, c'est intrigant, et pour un petit livre, c'est assez prenant, je dois dire. L'enquête est toujours maligne. Par contre, la soeur de Violette me fait un peu froid dans le dos...

J'arrive bientôt à la fin de cette série...

I absolutely adore this series. No man drama. There's no "amateur sleuth needs to be rescued by a man" type of climax either. Violet and Cassie do very well, and they do it their way.
This book was a bit shorter than the others in the series and I really did miss the extra 50 pages though. I can't wait for book 9.
