The newest addition in the genre of contemporary cozy mysteries, GATOR QUEEN joins the ranks of Arsenic and Adobo and Smile Beach Murder in my top mystery series!

Back from her plush life in Boston, Maggie Andrews takes her home town of Wahoo, Florida by storm. Along with her twin sister, Vera, the two are filling their dad’s role as resident gator trappers, with the extra challenges of running an airbnb and opening a new romance bookstore. However, when their local rival trapper ends up dead and Vera’s gun is the one left smoking– Maggie has to add the role as detective to her already full plate.

This was a really fun start to a mystery series!! The town and local residents are super quirky, and Maggie was exactly the type of MC I love– tough as nails but with a softer side. The ecological side of the story was a new twist and the mystery was full of twists and turns.
