Review: Jewels in the Juniper by Dale Mayer 4 of 5 stars

Jewels in the Juniper (Lovely Lethal Gardens #10)Jewels in the Juniper by Dale Mayer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The problem as Doreen becomes more notorious is that people have very unfair expectations into what she can achieve. This is brought into sharp focus when her friend Mack’s mother, Millicent Moreau, asks for her to help find the owner of some jewels she found years ago in the Juniper at the front of their house. Feeling backed into a corner, Doreen feels obliged to help - especially as she feels it can't do any harm to check it out apart from annoying Mack (but what's new?). But when this "small problem" starts to go into a daily marriage, a burnt down jewellery store, possible insurance fraud and maybe even murder, Doreen has to admit she is in way over her head. With her three constant companions (furry and feathered), she'll bring and old case to the present and find out it is far more current than she thought.

This shows that something that appears very simple, can soon spiral into something far more involved. Through it all Doreen was her usual inquisitive and determined self, doing everything she could to get to the bottom of things. I loved the relationship between Doreen and Mack which may have turned a slight corner as she started to miss him whenever he left her alone. Well written and skilfully told, it was a great mystery and whodunit all rolled into one. Easy to read and very easy to get addicted to. Definitely recommended.
