Murder Mystery Party (Senoia Cozy Mystery Book 9) by Susan Harper

Felicity has two businesses going in the same building.  She's taking courses to become a PI and they do event planning and party planning in the other segment.  She has an ex-cop heading the PI work and her boyfriend is in charge of the other half.  They do overlap and the employees work where they are needed.  When they do a murder mystery party, the person who dies was not the one that was supposed to...

Fairfield Publishing and the author allowed me to read this book review.  It has been published and you can grab a copy now.

The author does a very good job of depicting people as they really are.  The ex-cop has a bad temper and his anger rises quickly.  Felicity is well-rounded, has a good boyfriend, and works well with others.  The woman who ended up with a body at her body demands a refund.  Felicity gives it to her.  And then she starts digging into why that popular girl died.

The story moves right along with everyone looking for clues.  What they find out surprises them.  When they realize the motive, they can't believe it.  The killer already killed once, what's a few more?

This was a very good cozy.  I'd read more in this series.
