Blurb:
The last thing Adri Foster expected her sister to find while digging for antique glass was a body in the bushes.
With just one year of teaching left before retirement, Adri had hoped to savor the final weeks of summer and the small town of Seven Springs’ Sesquicentennial Celebration.
Instead, her mosaic artist sister discovered a dead body—and her sister’s fingerprints were on the murder weapon.
With the help of the Saturday Spinners’ gossip, and Snooper, her sharp-eyed Border Collie, Adri tackles the case.
The victim, a known poacher, had no shortage of enemies, including an untrustworthy accomplice and a grumpy neighbor with a grudge.
Despite the help of her friends and Snooper’s keen nose, Adri’s investigation spins in circles.
To make matters worse, Adri’s sister had a history with the victim. When her sister becomes a prime suspect, the stakes rise.
With time running out, Adri needs all her connections, wit, and instincts to uncover the truth and prevent her sister’s arrest for murder.
My Review:
Body
in the Bushes is the first book in Etta True’s new series, Adri
Foster Cozy Mystery. The story kicks off with a shocking discovery
when a body is found hidden among the bushes. Adri’s sister, Tina,
stumbles upon the corpse and reaches out to her for assistance.
As
the investigation unfolds, Tina becomes the primary suspect in the
case. With the aid of the Saturday Spinners, and her astute Border
Collie, Snooper, Adri embarks on a quest to uncover the truth.
However, as she delves deeper into the investigation, she finds
herself increasingly perplexed by the complexities of the case, which
reveals numerous secrets surrounding the deceased, Ted Bloom.
One
significant detail Adri uncovers about Mr. Bloom is that he had a
number of individuals who may have wished for his death. Given his
profession, it’s well-known that he wasn’t particularly liked by
many.
Body in the Bushes kept me on my toes from the very
first page to the final one, filled with unexpected twists and turns
that made it hard to put down.
I enjoyed getting to know
all the characters—Adri, Snooper, and the Spinner ladies. I eagerly
anticipate the next installment in the Adri Foster Cozy Mystery
series and am curious to discover what lies ahead for these
intriguing characters.
I highly recommend Body in the Bushes to fans of cozy mysteries! Be sure to grab a copy today!
