“enjoy reading cozy mystery books with bits of romance and family drama”
I was beyond excited to read The Game Is Afoot early on because I absolutely loved the first book in the series, and I needed the next one. So typical me read The Game Is Afoot as soon as I could when I was granted an early arc. And I have so many feelings about it, and I needed the next book in the series ASAP. Like, I am dead serious about having the next book. I need to know, especially with that ending at the end.
Besides my endless rant about needing the next book in the series, let’s talk about The Game Is Afoot. If you haven’t already read the first book in the series, then you need to now. Because I am going to spoil it since it picks up right after what happened in the first book.
Mavis is finally knowing her worth and quitting her job that never appreciates her. While it may be intimidating not having a job, Mavis is finally getting to know her true self and focusing more on herself. She kind of lacks self-care since she was the main parent while her daughter's father traveled for a musical job. However, ex-husband aka her daughter's father is back in town and staying for his father. Mavis doesn’t really take his words since he is known to drop everything for his music career. But never the worry; she has more important tasks when she becomes suspicious about her daughter's coach dying in mid-practice.
Mavis swears she was done investigating crimes when she was taken captive the last time. However, Mavis keeps running into suspicious people or gossips that connect them to the soccer coach murder. She got to investigate, but it’s going to be tricky when she promises to be safe with her new boo.
If you enjoy reading cozy mystery books with bits of romance and family drama, then you will enjoy reading this series.
