The 4th of July might be over, but you can relive the excitement of that holiday with Tonya Kappes newest book, ‘Fourth of July Forgery’. This is the latest book in the Holiday Cozy Mystery series that she is writing.
With this new book that means that the gang in Holiday Junction is back with another mystery. During their 4th of July celebration they got more than just fireworks. When a dead body showed up… more like washed up. Violet Rhinehammer is on the case to figure it out. Of course as with every case there are a few bumps along the way but what sleuth doesn’t have that?
Here is a just a little bit more on what this book is about:
Fireworks aren’t the only things causing sparks this Fourth of July in Holiday Junction! The much-awaited sixth book in the Holiday Cozy Mystery series, Fourth of July Forgery, immerses readers in a mystery that’s more intricate than a firework’s design.
When the festive atmosphere is dampened by the grim discovery of a body on the shore, it’s up to our firecracker reporter, Violet Rhinehammer, to fizzle out the truth. Delving into the shadowy world of art dealing and potential forgeries, Violet must crack this case faster than a skyrocket, all while trying to keep her relationships and reputation from going up in smoke.
As she navigates the labyrinth of deception and accusation, Violet realizes that even in Holiday Junction, secrets can still explode like a M80. Can she solve the puzzle before the last sparkler has fizzled out, or will the fuse on this mystery burn too quickly for her to handle?
Featuring a captivating blend of small-town charm, holiday high-jinks, and a puzzling mystery, Fourth of July Forgery is a firecracker of a summer read, sure to delight cozy mystery fans and holiday enthusiasts alike. This book is more entertaining than a grand finale of fireworks, proving once again that when it comes to holiday mysteries, Violet Rhinehammer is the ‘bomb’!”
I know you are saying this sounds like a great cozy mystery series that is perfect to read when you are relaxing outside this summer. And I have to say you are right. Not only will you find the same old pals from Holiday Junction in this book, but Tonya was able to bring in a new character that will be coming back in future books. We also get to have a more of a background/dive into the relationship Violet has with her mother. You can tell things are not perfect for them but they are trying to work things out.
Not only do we get to see more of the relationship Violet has with other characters but we are taken to a new part of Holiday Junction. This part is one I am very curious about and I hope that we are able to go back to it at some point.
With some additions to more characters and a new location it wasn’t too much for this book. I am giving ‘Fourth of July Forgery’ 4 stars and one you would love from start to finish. Tonya Kappes is the queen of cozy mysteries in my book and she brought her A game again with this book. You are able to purchase this book on Amazon or if you have Kindle Unlimited it is included in your membership. Have you read this book? Is this going to be on your TBR list?
