Masquerade Party Murder (Juniper Holiday, #4) opens with Juniper Holiday setting up for her New Years Eve party, but the party goes horribly awry during the fireworks when the mayor is found dead . . . killed by a gunshot. Juniper must find out who the murderer is and clear her dear friend's name.
I have absolutely fallen in love with the Juniper Holiday book series by Leighann Dobbs. The books in this series are the perfect beach read and super fun. And, if I get in a funk while reading, these books definitely pull me out of that funk. Masquerade Party Murder definitely pulled me out of a reading funk.
What's great about this series is that you don't have to read them in order, although it definitely helps, and Masquerade Party Murder can be read as a stand alone book like the rest in the series. Even though this is a cozy mystery, there are some fantasy elements in the story lines . . . witches and werewolves play a part, and of course, ghosts do as well. If you're not a fan of fantasy, you don't have to worry as the witches and werewolves aren't in the forefront of the story.
I love the characters, especially Juniper and Victoria and even Detective Mallard. In fact, I keep waiting for Victoria and the detective start dating and fall in love. If that happens, and I think it will, it will probably not happen for several books . . . just a guess.
There were a few red herrings in the story, which I definitely fell for in my guessing of who did it. However, when a certain piece of evidence is introduced, it confirmed my original guess of who the killer was, and I was mad at myself for being led astray.
Five out of five stars is what I gave Masquerade Party Murder (Juniper Holiday, #4) by Leighann Dobbs. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the books in the series, and I hope there are many more. If you enjoyed this book, I recommend reading the Lucy Stone book series by Leslie Meier.
