The seventh offering in The Advocate's series gives us JP and Sable doing geocache (online scavenger hunt using the GPS.) They find a cache with a future death certificate. Is it fake or does it tell the future?

This was a good mystery. It is well thought out and fun as Sable, JP, and Ron (Sable's brother) search for the clues that are left for them. It gets weird as it seems to coincide with a case of Sable's. But why would and how can someone do that? I liked how they had to make wild stabs at what was happening and what the clues meant.

I liked the secondary characters. There is a family that Sable is working with in the courts that shows what happens when parents are not the parents and the children have to become the parents. Very realistic! I liked the support that the children had for one another. Judge Hekman I would have liked to kick her backside at times when she is more of an obstacle than a help.

I loved this entry. It was a quick, fun read that kept me on the edge of my seat as I read. ( )

This was a wonderful book and I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent lost in its pages.

Sabre Brown is an attorney working in the California juvenal court system as a child advocate. In this book, number seven in the series, she is advocating for five siblings from four different fathers and one crazy, shallow, wanna-be actress mother. And since she also has a life outside of work, she is enjoying her new hobby of geocaching. Geocaching is sort of like treasure hunting. You go online, enter a zip code of an area you want to search, click on an entry that interests you and it gives you the GPS coordinates. That gives you your treasure map. You then go to those coordinates and search until you find the cache.

One day while geocaching with her boyfriend/investigator she comes across a disturbing cache. Instead of finding the usual trinket, she finds an official looking death certificate. She has never heard of the dead person, Monroe. She doesn't even know if Monroe is a first or last name. The certificate lists the cause of death as "murder by poison" and is dated a week in the future. That's all weird enough but the cache leads her into a much bigger hunt since each cache she finds gives her clues leading to the next one. She and her friends and brother follow all the clues in the hope of averting this tragic murder. Along the way, they find that this hunt intertwines with Sabre's case with the five children.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The plot was interesting, the characters well developed and likeable and the pace was perfect - fast enough to keep me involved yet slow enough for me to enjoy the trip! ( )

I must disclose up front that I receive an e-book version of this book from the author in return for a review as I had previously reviewed one of the earlier books in the series.

The plot involves Sabre Brown, a lawyer/child advocate, who while out geocaching finds a cache that contains what seems to be a genuine death certificate, except that it is dated a week in the future, only has the deceased's Christian name, and says the cause of death was poisoning. There are also clues to where to find another geocache, and so Sabre, her brother and the ever dependable JP go on a treasure hunt from cache to cache in the hope of finding enough clues to prevent the future murder of the man named on the death certificate.

After a few clues it becomes apparent that the victim has a connection with a child protection case she is chief advocate on, and a paternity case which might mean her 17 year old client inherits a not-so-small fortune.

Add in a subplot of the apparent (at least to Sabre) cheating on the side by JP, the man in her life, the book flies along to its surprising conclusion.

An excellent novel that was hard to put down.

BTW I have geocached in the past, so it was very interesting to read a book where geocaching is an integral part of the plot. I know there are others but this was a first for me. My partner works in child protection, so that part of the story was also quite interesting for me. ( )

Sabre, JP, Bob and Ron are all back in The Advocate's Geocache. When Sabre and JP embark on a geocaching expedition, little do they know that a day's fun will be the start of a mysterious treasure hunt, one that is full of twists, turns and cryptic clues. Along the way, they interact with a prominant political family that just might have a secret or two to hide. Once you start The Advocate's Geocache, you won't want to put it down. You'll want to be right there with Sabre and company as they discover each new clue. And, who knows, you might learn something about geocaching, too! Congratulations Ms. Burrell on another winner!

The Advocate’s Geocache by Teresa Burrell is the seventh book in The Advocate series. Sabre Orin Brown is an attorney with a juvenile court practice. She works with private investigator, J.P. Torn (he is also her boyfriend). Sabre is working on the McFerran case. There are five children: Conway Twitty, Trace Adkins, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, and Taylor Swift McFerran (can you tell their mother has a country music fetish). Their mother, Brandy McFerran has a constant stream of boyfriends while she is busy trying to get into singing and her latest enterprise, acting. The boyfriends tend to be lazy and abusive which is how Brandy lost her children. Sabre Brown is the children’s attorney and wants what is best for them.

Sabre is out geocaching with her boyfriend, J.P. when they find an unusual item. Instead of the normal log book and trinkets, they find a death certificate in a cardboard cylinder. The certificate if for someone named Monroe with the date of death in one week and the cause of death is poison. Since the police cannot investigate a possible crime, Sabre along with J.P. and her Sabre’s brother, Ron look into the death certificate. The certificate leads them to another geocache sight. While exploring the geocache mystery, Sabre starts to notice some similarities to her McFerran case. The Monroe on the death certificate could be the Monroe Bullard. Brandy (who was 15 at the time) claims that Monroe is Conway Twitty McFerran’s biological father.

Sabre follows the clues to figure out the geocache puzzle while advocating for her client’s. I truly enjoyed reading The Advocate’s Geocache. A delightful cozy mystery. I give The Advocate’s Geocache 5 out of 5 stars. It is easy and fun book to read. A delightful way to spend a Saturday afternoon. I have not read the previous books in the series, but it did not hinder me from enjoying The Advocate’s Geocache.

I received a complimentary copy of The Advocate’s Geocache from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The review and opinions are my own. ( )
