Book Review: My Fatal Valentine (Juniper Holiday, #5) by Leighann Dobbs

My Fatal Valentine (Juniper Holiday, #5) by Leighann Dobbs opens with a Valentine's Day charity event being held at Juniper's mansion.  When the grand prize winner is found dead in one of the bathrooms, there are few clues and no witnesses.  Detective Mallard must solve the crime without the help of Juniper or lose his job.

Even though this is a cozy mystery that has a murder, it still put me in the mood for Valentine's Day.  I loved the jealousy between all of the contestants because it made the story more realistic and gave a good motive.  There were a lot of red herrings, and I have to say that I was stumped as to who could be the murderer.

What I loved about this edition of the Juniper Holiday series is that there was a little more fantasy involved with a witch needing to perform a spell to assist in solving the case.  The magical people of the town is something I feel like could be developed a little more in the series.  The characters were amazing, and I am still in love with the main characters.  I was expecting something to happen between Detective Mallard and Tori, but I was disappointed because nothing happened between them.

I am excited for the next book to come out in the series . . . it looks like it will be an Easter themed novel based on conversations between the characters in this novel.  Five out of five stars is what I give My Fatal Valentine (Juniper Holiday, #5) by Leighann Dobbs.
