Blurb/Summary:
Marty Flaherty here: Half human, half werewolf, aaall girl and proud of it.
First,
let me say, we’re not exactly great at this detective gig. Sherlock Holmes
wouldn’t be out of a job because we’re on the scene.
But
while In the midst of trying to choose our next case to solve and learning from
the mistakes we made with our last investigation, my fifteen-year-old daughter
Hollis makes a plea we can’t turn our backs on.
Her best friend, Charmaine Ellis needs our help.
Charmaine's father’s been accused of murdering their house manager’s daughter.
Ronald Ellis, guardian of everything werewolf, overseer of ancient were
artifacts, is accused of killing Zinnia Hutchins.
A sweet, thoughtful young woman who grew up in the Ellis household—a young
woman Ronald once considered a daughter.
The madness in all of this?
He fully admits he’s whodunnit!
That’s right, he makes no bones about the fact that he’s the killer. Loud and
proud, Ronald confesses to killing a beautiful young woman. The catch? He can’t
remember a single thing about the morning he allegedly murdered Zinnia.
Due to the archaic inefficiency of the were council police, and their deep
desire to keep all matters werewolf deeply hidden from the human world, Ronald
asks us to help him investigate what happened that morning, even if it means he
truly did murder a woman he considered family.
So we jump in both feet and this time, with a hefty list of suspects on our
side, but as we dig deeper we find secrets none of us expected, proving murder
in the paranormal world is a tricky game of cat and mouse!
Review:
I love that each book in this new series is from a different POV. Book 2 is from Marty Flaherty’s POV and has much to do with the were society. Readers are treated to a teenage Hollis, Marty’s daughter, and we get to see the relationships that have been built over time. Hollis has two aunties that love her like their own. It is apparent that those bonds were forged over time and experiences. Hollis doesn’t hesitate to ask for help for her friend.
The suspected murderer and victim are part of the were community, so we get more insight on their workings. They have some crazy artifacts that should not fall into the wrong hands. Book two is straight forward with some obvious and a couple not so obvious plot twists. It’s also a fairly clean read because Nina is not the protagonist.
Tell Me It’s Murder Without Telling Me It’s Murder
has great characters and is a fun read.
