Cassie Coburn Mysteries, Book 10

De: Samantha Silver

Narrado por: Patricia Santomasso

Cassie is about to step onto a very different type of court....

It's tennis season in London, and hits are being put out on more than just tennis balls.

When a prominent politician is murdered, Violet is called in to help the Metropolitan Police get to the bottom of it. But not all is as it seems, and Cassie and Violet soon find out that this case will be harder to solve than they initially thought.

The Cassie Coburn mysteries are a cozy mystery series featuring a Sherlock Holmes-style sleuth. If you want a light, fun modern mystery featuring a San Francisco girl totally out of her element in London, and a crazy French woman who happens to be very good at noticing things, then this is the series for you.

Unfinished story

I enjoy the Cassie Coburn mysteries and love Patricia Santomasso's narration of them. BUT -- I really object to the fact that this book ends part way through the action. The crime has been solved but then, instead of winding everything up the way the book in this series (and 95% of mystery novels) usually do, one of the main characters is seriously attacked and the only way to find out what happens next is to buy and listen to the next book. And so the next book starts out mid-action -- neither book can be read as a stand-alone.

I find this unacceptable. I have been reading this series alongside a couple of other cozy mystery series. I don't necessarily want to buy or read a single series month after month. And requiring readers to buy two books to follow a single story seems to me like a cynical marketing ploy on the part of either the author or the publishers.

If the same happens at the end of the next book, I will probably stop reading the series.
