Review: The Missing Juliet, A Fisher Key Mystery, Sam Cameron.

The Missing Juliet: A Fisher Key Adventure by Sam Cameron
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thank you Netgalley and Bold Stroke Books for granting my request to view this title.

I loved it. An intriguing mystery, well written, entertaining, with excellent characters and a great plot that kept me guessing right till the end. The writing was snappy, the dialogue witty and the characters were well rounded.

The story starts with its main protagonist, Robin, and her friend Sean, trying to sneak onto a movie set in their home town of Key West to get a glimpse of their favourite stars. Robin is a die hard fangirl and in love with actress Juliet Francine, and Sean has the hots for her costar Liam. Whilst sneaking on the set they learn that Juliet appears to be missing, Juliet's sister Karen is distraught, where her jackass co star seems to not care at all.

Robin manages to get hired by Karen to help her find Juliet as she's the only one who seems to believe that Juliet is really missing. So Robin gets to work on investigating. Robin knows exactly who she is, she's a lesbian who's totally comfortable with who she is and total advocate for Mother Earth and healthy stuff and environment. She was fun and well written with her beliefs and didn't preach about them, which made her more likeable. Each to their own, but don't throw it in my (the reader's) face. Robin was an excellent lead.

As she continues to investiage, she learns more about the movie making business, and the co star Liam and nothing is as it appears. The mystery is full of twists and turns, and at certain points seems to rather predicable in where it's going with the story, then it twits and throws you off balance going in a completely different direction.

A cast of fun lively characters, though a few times I felt like I was reading information I should already know about the supporting cast, like maybe this was part of a series, but that didn't really matter because it was so well written you could follow along easily without any trouble understanding who was who.

It wrapped up sweetly, with a realistic believable ending.

I loved it from start to finish.
