Book Review: ‘The Case of the Missing Witness’ (Cozy Murder Mystery), Mike Nevin

A cozy murder mystery led by our delightful dancing star, Hilda herself with an accompaniment by our other charming lady, Pearl. With layers of intrigue, a carousel of suspicious characters, and enough vivacity and wit (sprinkled with cutting feminist asides), this one’s a page turner. I finished this novella in just a few sittings and was left hooked and puzzled until Hilda’s final dramatic reveal of the culprit. Pick this one up for a cozy evening read with a hot cup of tea. Hilda and Pearl will dance across your heart, leaving you with smiles and knowing winks as they skate off to their next adventure. Scotland Yard is in dire need of their services, after all. Just be careful not to drink your tea while reading one of Hilda’s humorous asides–the tea just might go everywhere.

As Hilda says in ‘The Case of the Missing Witness’: “I know a lot about the law. I’m always getting in trouble with the law.”

Mike Nevins of “How Caring: Shall We Get Dressed?” blog has recently published Book I in a cozy British mystery series featuring his wonderful, life-loving star of the show–Hilda. It’s a funny, adventurous tale with twists, turns and more than a dollop of shenanigans. Available in ebook and print, you can order your copy over on Amazon UK. Book I is currently free on Kindle Unlimited (click the link for a free preview).

A very, very happy publishing day to Mr. Nevins. I was fortunate enough to read some early drafts of his novel and to meet Hilda and her gang. She will leave a twinkle in your eye at her antics and a warm feeling in your heart. Or perhaps that’s just the coffee she spilled all over your new shirt. No matter.
