My Review:
I love the title A Little Frosty of the second book in Daisy Landish’s Mike and Maddie Mysteries. It fits so well with the story. I love how A Little Frosty began how you know what has happened already but what you don’t know is what how it happened or who did it. The mystery lies between the pages.
A man goes missing. Mike and Maddie’s friend Detective Carson Lutrell is investigating the man’s disappearance. Carson was trying to keep Mike and Maddie off the case. But Mike and Maddie can never pass up the opportunity to solve a case. Mike and Maddie have been friends for a long time and love a good mystery.
A Little Frosty drew me into its depths with the first page. I love these short reads that is full of mystery and suspense and keeps you guessing from beginning to end as to how it all went down. I can’t wait to dive into the next book to see what Mike and Maddie mystery awaits.

My Review:
A Bad Egg is the third story in Daisy Landish’s Mike and Maddie Mysteries. A Bad Egg is a short read but it packs a punch. It drew me in the moment I began to read.
Maddie is home visiting her parents for Easter vacation. Maddie and her mother join an Easter egg competition. Maddie and her mother find a woman slumped over in the bathroom. The woman has been poisoned. Who would want to harm this woman especially at a holiday event? Why would they want to hurt her?
Maddie is visiting her parents alone but after finding the woman in the bathroom who would appear? None other than Maddie’s two best friends, Mike and Detective Carson Lutrell. Maddie is glad to see her two best friends as she could use their help finding out who hurt this woman.
A Bad Egg kept me guessing throughout the story and I have to say I was surprised to learn who the murderer was. I would never have guessed. A Bad Egg another great title that fits the story in more than one way. Loved it. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
