Better Gnomes & Gardens (Mysty Haven Mystery Book 1) by Casey Cardel – Review by Amanda Haller-Doris

Better Gnomes & Gardens by Casey Cardel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this story, but it did not disappoint! We meet Bob, who has moved to a new town for a job at the newspaper, but due to his first story about Bigfoot instead of Elvis impersonators, he loses his job. He ends up taking a job helping one of the towns people find his missing gnome. I found the story hilarious, because it’s clear that something is up with the citizens of Mysty Haven, but Bob doesn’t seem to know what the joke is. People will discuss supernatural things in front of him, but due to the fact they think he understands, and there is usually enough ambiguity that Bob doesn’t seem to understand what is going on, but the residents think he does. We get to meet all sorts of wacky and fun characters throughout the course of the story and we get enough information on them, which I am excited to see what happens next in the series! It was a quick and easy read, that I finished in one sitting and it’s definitely a must read for fantasy lovers who enjoy a mystery twist.
