Cozy Mystery
6th in Series

Charlie Kingsley’s tea customers have two things in common:
They rave about her teas.
AND they have a knack for attracting trouble.
There’s never been a connection between the two … until now.
One night, one of Charlie’s customers passes out, only to wake up to her fiancé dead in her home and no memory of what happened the night before.
But one thing she DOES remember is drinking a cup of Charlie’s tea.
Charlie knows it wasn’t the tea, but everyone else is suddenly blaming her, so she has no choice but to get to the bottom of this mysterious death.
My review of Red Hot Murder
Red Hot Murder is the 6th book in the Charlie Kingsley Mystery series and the 4th I’ve read. Like the other books in the series, it can be read as a stand-alone. You’ll be able to quickly recognize how the characters relate to each other from the dialogue and their interactions. In this book, Charlie gets thrown into another murder investigation when Cherry, a tea customer, calls her in the middle of the night, distressed. When Charlie arrives at Cherry’s, she finds Cherry’s fiance dead on the floor and Cherry with no memory of the night’s events.
Like the other books I’ve read in this series, I enjoyed the mystery in Red Hot Murder. There are multiple suspects…Charlie included. Charlie’s a suspect because the last thing Cherry remembers is drinking Charlie’s tea. It was fun revisiting Redemption and Charlie’s friends. Charlie still has doubts about the police force, except for one particular member who has been getting closer to Charlie…albeit slowly. That’s okay with me. I’d rather the characters form friendships before they get romantically involved.
Red Hot Murder is a quick, entertaining read. I think all cozy mystery lovers will appreciate following the clues surrounding the multiple suspects while trying to figure out whodunit. The characters are well-written and the setting is delightful. I definitely recommend you check out Red Hot Murder and the other Charlie Kingsley cozy mystery books!
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
About Michele Pariza Wacek
A USA Today Bestselling, award-winning author, Michele taught herself to read at 3 years old because she wanted to write stories so badly. It took some time (and some detours) but now she does spend much of her time writing stories. Mystery stories, to be exact. They’re clean and twisty, and range from psychological thrillers to cozies, with a dash of romance and supernatural thrown into the mix. If that wasn’t enough, she posts lots of fun things on her blog, including short stories, puzzles, recipes and more, at MPWNovels.com.
Michele grew up in Wisconsin, (hence why all her books take place there), and still visits regularly, but she herself escaped the cold and now lives in the mountains of Prescott, Arizona with her husband and southern squirrel hunter Cassie.
When she’s not writing, she’s usually reading, hanging out with her dog, or watching the Food Network and imagining she’s an awesome cook. (Spoiler alert, she’s not. Luckily for the whole family, Mr. PW is in charge of the cooking.)
