Thank you @suzyapprovedbooktours and @berkleypub for the #gifted copy of this new cozy mystery! 


Title: Mimi Lee Cracks the Code

Author: Jennifer Chow

Publication: 11/30/2021

Genre: Cozy Mystery 

My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


Series Background: This is book 3 in the Sassy Cat Mystery series featuring pet groomer Mimi Lee and her cat Marshmallow. 


In short: Mimi Lee, owner of Hollywoof, has been offered a getaway on Catalina Island for herself, Marshmallow and her boyfriend Josh. All sounds great until the vacation rentals last guest ends up dead with the owner, and Mimi Lee’s friend being a prime suspect. 


What to expect:

🔎A telepathic cat

🔎Mimi Lee investigates the Murder on her own, convinced her friend is being wrongfully accused. 

🔎Great setting around LA and Catalina Island


My thoughts: This was a great cozy mystery! I haven’t read the 1st two books but definitely plan to now that I’ve met these quirky, inviting characters. When you get down to the mystery at hand Mimi Lee is surround by so many different suspects. As the story and investigating continues a culprit is eventually revealed, after a few twists and second guesses of course. What I really enjoyed was the California setting,  laid back vibes, classic Hollywood references, a little romance and 1 very snarky cat. Can you imagine understanding everything your pet said?

  Wish You Were Here by Jodi Picoult publishes tomorrow, 11/30/2021.  It’s March 2020 and Diana and her boyfriend Finn are set to take a trip to the Galapagos.

I listened to this book on audiobook and really enjoyed the narration by Marin Ireland. Thank you Penguin Random House Audio for an advanced listener copy of this book through the Volume...
