Mystery along with humor

Shroud of Roses: A Cornwall and Redfern Mystery - Gloria Ferris

I received this book via NetGalley to give an honest review.

 

I love characters who are witty, smart aleck, mouthy and funny.

When I read the blurb I didn't expect one of the main characters to have me laughing at her ways. Bliss is dating the local chief of police and she likes to insert herself into the field of police work. Bliss is a character you can't help but like and want more of. 

The story starts out where in an old gym a body is discovered while police are trying to figure out who that person is another person dies. Are the two connected? Will there be more murders? Will the police chief listen to Bliss and get information from her as she has background on the town and the people there. 

While Redfern is trying to solve the murders with the help of his police officers and an old friend named Tony, Bliss is inserting herself into the investigation by asking people who were there the night of the graduation party. But it seems she may be in the cross hairs of the killer, and will she be saved in time or to late?  Bliss and Redfern have to juggle their relationship along with trying to solve the murders that are happening. 

This was a great and funny story to read. I do want to read more of Bliss and solve more crimes.
