Murky Murder by Hazel Smith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first cozy mystery by this author. It reminded me of watching cozy mysteries on TV. Cute.

Ivy has just been promoted to Head Maid at a luxurious hotel in London. Ivy is starting to date her boss, Max. On her first day, a big conference starts, a weird letter appears at the hotel, and there is a semi-threat made towards her boss. It is just another day in the life of Ivy.

When the person issuing the threat to her boss is found dead in his hotel room, the mystery begins. Toss in some questionable business associates, some old rivalries, and a little of the unknown and no we are cooking. As the clues mount with no answers, Ivy struggles to balance the mystery and her new duties.

With help from her friends, Ivy assists the police with the investigation. When the evidence points to an unusual suspect and the police think they have it all tied up, Ivy feels that there are things that don’t quite fit. Then in a plot twist, an unknown surfaces and threatens Ivy! All the pieces start to fit and Ivy manages to save the day and hotel!

If you are looking for a quick, easy read that can take you out of your everyday doldrums, this is it! Enjoy the read!
