Why Me?: Chimeras, Conundrums, and Dead Goldfish
Cozy Mystery (some strong language)
1st in Series
Taylor and Seale Publishing LLC (November 18, 2019)
Paperback: 255 pages
In ancient Greece, the chimera was a bad omen. In WHY ME?, it’s a motive for murder. Bryn Baczek, a Seattle consultant, is vacationing in Scotland, hiking alone in a downpour, surrounded by midges, when she sees a body at the bottom of a ravine. Before she can return to the scene with the mountain rescue team, the body disappears. She learns that he was a scientist and that his laptop containing his cutting-edge research has disappeared. Rumors that Bryn has the laptop make her a target.
My review of Why Me?: Chimeras, Conundrums, and Dead Goldfish
Why Me?: Chimeras, Conundrums, and Dead Goldfish is another fun and crazy cozy mystery from Charlotte Stuart. I love the way Charlotte Stuart writes her main characters. I embrace them as my friends right away.
When I started the book and saw that poor Bryn was caught in the pouring rain while hiking in Scotland, my heart went out to her. You know why? Because that would totally be me. Not that I am a big hiker or anything…neither is Bryn! She’s just trying to prove that she doesn’t need her friend Sophie, who flaked out on the trip at the last minute for a guy of all things, to enjoy the trip they’d planned. Well, not only does Bryn not enjoy the hike, she does not enjoy finding a dead body who disappears before help arrives!
You can see Bryn’s conundrum. The rescue team thinks she’s delusional and the guy must have been alive and walked off. But she knows what she saw. A dead guy who just happens to live in Washington state near Bryn! More conundrums occur when the bad guys think Bryn must be connected to the dead guy since they were in Scotland at the same time. Furthermore, they think she’s got his research!
The things Bryn goes through in Why Me? will have you laughing out loud while feeling sorry for her…and her goldfish. I love her friend Logan. He’s protective of Bryn while going along with her crazy investigations that she undertakes even though her detective friend Ben tells her to stay out of it. Who ever stays out of it in cozy mystery books?
This is a book you’ve got to read yourself in order to appreciate the author’s sense of humor. Read it free with Kindle Unlimited!

I am visiting the site today because I came a cross a whole bunch of children's books that are up for giveaways, that I would love to read to my two grandchildren. They love it when their grand-mum-a-lum has story time with them.
I was wondering why there was a knife poking into a goldfish bowl. The cover looks appealing and intriguing. Hiking near a ravine seems bad enough without finding a body that subsequently disappears.
Cute cover
