Gehört zur ReiheAllie Cobb (4)
Certain she's seen more than enough death for one lifetime, literary agent Allie Cobb is ready to close the book on her amateur sleuthing, even when she learns that an unidentified body has been unearthed in a local state park. But when a worn and haunted-looking woman shows up on her doorstep with a grim story about her young daughter's disappearance twenty years ago?and the police confirm that the recently discovered body is hers?Allie can't bear to turn the poor woman away. Determined to uncover the truth about the young woman's murder, Allie begins delving into the circumstances of her life and those she knew so many years before. And when she meets powerful resistance from those she questions?many of whom are now trusted leaders in her small, tight-knit community?she's sure she's on the right track. But as she narrows down the list of suspects, Allie realizes too late that a cold-blooded killer is dead-set on keeping the secrets of the past buried, and it will take all her wit and cunning to avoid becoming the second young woman to meet an untimely end . . . Praise for the Allie Cobb Mysteries: "Mr. Kenney has written a complicated mystery . . . The killer reveal was so entertaining and the takedown was something I had never seen in a cozy mystery." ?Escape With Dollycas "Full of charm, great characters, and plenty of small details, making it perfect for fans of cozies." ?Books a Plenty Book Reviews "A Genuine Fix is a lighthearted cozy mystery with a cunning cat, a disagreeable victim, a mound of mulch, a tolerant police chief, and one determined bicycle-riding literary agent." ?The Avid Reader "The story behind the mystery and Allie's interaction with family and friends . . . [are] character-driven and peopled by characters that are easy to become attached to and invested in." ?I Read What You Write "I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed getting to know Allie and her friends . . . A Mysterious Mix Up is a quick and easy cozy mystery." ?Christy's Cozy Corner About the Author: Award-winning and bestselling author J. C.

Allie Cobb, after a particularly anguishing investigation four months ago, has sworn off investigating. But then, when returning from a walk with her cat, Ursi, Allie meets Connie Briggs sitting on the steps to Allie’s apartment with a battered box next to her. Connie will ask Allie to look into her daughter’s, Valerie, disappearance some twenty years ago. Connie tells Allie that a body she is sure is her daughter has been found in a local state park and asks Allie to investigate. Once Allie hears the story about Brigg’s daughter, there is no way that Allie can say no to looking at what happened that day, twenty years ago. Allie soon becomes aware that she won’t be getting much help from the police department. It seems that the police chief who investigated the disappearance is the father of the current police chief and the ex-brother-in-law of Allie, Matt. Matt’s father reportedly didn’t perform much of an investigation into the young lady’s disappearance. As Allie begins to look into Valerie’s disappearance, she is relieved to find that many of her close friends still live in Rushing Creek and hopes they will provide information that will point to the killer. When she is forced off the road while bicycling home, she feels that her sleuthing moves in the right direction and hopes to resolve the mystery before the killer can put an end to her inquiries.
I’ve enjoyed this series since the beginning, it provides a look at life in a small community, and it’s exciting residents. The story is well-written and plotted. The characters are well-developed, believable, and enjoyable. There twists and turns that kept me guessing until the end.
I will be watching for the next book in this exciting series. (
