MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n You know what they always say about not letting success go to your head? Yeah, a little success with a case and Elliot is raring to take on another one – this time pro bono because she felt sorry for the gal her boss turned down. As frequent readers of Christy Barrit’s cozy mysteries know, things are about to get a little crazy ’round here.<\/p>\n It doesn’t take very long before Elliot finds herself right in the middle of danger but in her own naive and clueless way, she keeps on following those clues into one disaster after another. But somehow, some way Elliot manages to put together the clues and solve yet another case.<\/p>\n The Perks of Meddling<\/em> is yet another fun cozy mystery with a quirky heroine whose ignorance of Americanisms offers a chuckle or two. Then there are those two guys – her cute coworker Michael and that handsome cop Hunter who keeps showing up everywhere she goes. It seems to me that they are both interested in Elliot but neither is quite on her radar yet. It will be interesting to see how that part of the story goes. I am also very interested for Elliot to learn more about her father’s mysterious journal. I voluntarily reviewed a digital copy of this book provided by the author. A favorable review was not required. All views expressed are my own.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n She\u2019s determined to work this case\u2014with or without permission . . .<\/p>\n Investigator-wannabe Elliot Ransom doesn\u2019t have much clout with the PI firm that recently hired her. When she meets a woman whose \u201criffraff\u201d sister has gone missing, Elliot can\u2019t resist the urge to help\u2014despite her boss\u2019s stern warning to stay away. But her snooping may prove as dangerous as the jungle she left behind.<\/p>\n As Elliot digs deeper, the underbelly of wealthy Storm River bubbles to the surface. Following the advice found in her father\u2019s old journal, Elliot tracks the killer. But the more she uncovers, the more of a target she becomes. Could a little meddling lead to a vast amount of trouble?<\/p>\n ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n A Publishers Weekly best-seller, Christy writes both mystery and romantic suspense novels that are clean with underlying messages of faith. Her books have sold almost two million copies, and one is currently being developed as a movie.<\/p>\n Christy\u2019s books have won the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Suspense and Mystery, have been twice nominated for the Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award, and have finaled for both a Carol Award and Foreword Magazine\u2019s Book of the Year.<\/p>\n She\u2019s married to her prince charming, a man who thinks she\u2019s hilarious\u2013but only when she\u2019s not trying to be. Christy\u2019s a self-proclaimed klutz, an avid music lover who\u2019s known for spontaneously bursting into song, and a road trip aficionado.<\/p>\n Christy currently splits her time between the Virginia suburbs and Hatteras Island, North Carolina. She loves spending time with her husband, her two sons, and her four dogs.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" "\\"divider2\\"")
