Cozy Mystery Author 

Tinsel, Trials & Traitors

Join Katie, Maverick, and their newfound extended family for the holidays, mixed, of course with the usual action from their Search and Rescue operations and the breathless drama that Mary Seifert brings to all her mystery novels.

Katie and Maverick are out for their walk when Maverick dashes through the moving gate at a self-storage facility and they get locked in. By the time the police respond to the silent alarms the pair have set off, the smell of exhaust fumes has begun to seep from one of the garage-sized units, and the car inside is quickly engulfed in a ball of flame. Was it a suicide that turned extra messy, or did someone rig the expensive sports car to explode and kill the woman inside?

When Katie starts to ask the tough questions, it seems there were a long list of people who didn’t much care for Sophie Grainger and several of them had motives for murder. But Katie also has her days full with the upcoming holiday season and her students who are participating in a mock-trial competition. 

Will the kids make it to the state finals under the expert coaching of a local attorney who has joined their team? And will Katie and Maverick have a wonderful Christmas this year, the first in which Katie’s dad has been home since the horrific shooting incident that nearly killed him?

Interesting story

I did figure out who the killer was fairly early, but the story held my attention from start to finish. The twist and turns just gave a hint of suspects.

Easy reading

An easy reading who done it with a touch of budding romance built in.

I loved Tinsel, Trials & Traitors

I loved Tinsel, Trials & Traitors, an excellent amateur detective novel with great supporting characters. I can't wait to read others in the series.
