My Review
Emma Wells specializes in helping people downsize from their large homes to smaller dwellings. She lives in a tiny house in Mini Meadows with her cat Ginger. Then all at once, things change when her Granny Rose comes for an extended stay, a downsizing client is murdered, and Granny Rose adopts the late client's Great Dane. Emma decides to be an amateur sleuth and work to solve the murder, with the help of her grandmother and friends.
I wanted to read this book because I love cozy mysteries and am fascinated by tiny houses. The addition of a cat and dog to the book is another nice perk.
No Small Murder is a fun start to a new series. Readers will get to know Emma, her grandmother, and her friends - as well as see the beginning of a potential romance for her (and maybe even one for her grandmother as well).
I loved the Mini Meadows setting. The little adjacent town even has tiny businesses, and residents travel to and from town in golf carts! This book made me even more intrigued about the idea of spending time in a tiny house community.
The mystery aspects of the book were interesting, and there was a surprising twist to the murder.
I recommend No Small Murder for fans of cozy mysteries, and especially for anyone who has an interest in tiny houses.
Book Synopsis
Mini Meadows, a Tiny Home community in rural Central Florida, is home to
Emma Wells, a downsize specialist who left her daddy’s mansion and her
inheritance behind in favor of a simpler, more peaceful life in a tiny
home that was once two shipping containers. But when she opens a
shipping container and discovers her dead client sitting in a rocking
chair, neatly wrapped and labeled, and two of her friends end up on the
suspect list, Emma pitches in to help find the killer. With plenty of
clues to unpack, Emma narrows down the suspect list, but as she begins
to close in on the culprit, she realizes if she’s not careful she could
end up in a box of her own.
