ERIN HUSS

I am hopelessly in love with Erin Huss’s fabulous series, ” Cambria Clyne ” mysteries. Wow. Every page makes me laugh, there’s a great thrill and an unexpected twist but I love how, Cambria Clyne, the new property manager for Elder Property Management in LA, gets the better of the police in solving crimes. A complete entertainer, this series deserves nothing less than 100/100. Too good to be missed.

FRENCH VANILLA & FELONIES

Cambria Clyne Mysteries book #1

Cambria Clyne is looking for a job and applies for the post of property manager with Patrick from the Elder Property Management owned by the McGills. She has a three-year-old daughter, Lillie, with Tom Dreyer, an attorney. The story begins on a very humorous note which I won’t like to reveal or spoil. Cambria meets a handsome hunk, Chase, the maintenance man for the property while filling a questionnaire at the interview. Fortunately, in spite of her weird answers, she gets selected for the job and Joyce, the current manager who’s going to retire, gives her necessary on the job training. During the training period, Cambria checks the voicemail left for Joyce to address the various issues faced by the tenants on the property. One such call by Kenneth is a weird message that ends up abruptly. Cambria is intrigued.

Later that day, when she tries to dispose the rotten tuna sandwich, she’s shocked to find a bag containing stolen credit cards and wallets and…..the dead body of Kenneth Fisk from Apartment 21, and the caller with the weird message. Cambria’s curiosity gets the better of her as she tries to figure out what did Kenneth see that got him killed. Then follows a healthy dosage of humor and suspense.Will Cambria succeed in solving a complicated case, that almost gets her arrested for a crime that she didn’t not commit, owing to a conspiracy to frame her? I especially loved the mother-daughter interaction between Cambria and her daughter, Lilly. The description of the tenants and their list of complaints to Cambria adds more fun to the story.

This is followed by the murder of Jessica Wilders, a famous actress known for her character Lola Darling in the popular TV series, Ghost Confidential.

Cambria’s boyfriend, Chase Cruller, who was the maintenance man in the first book, is actually a detective in LAPD. Her best friend, Amy plays the role of a medium in the show and hates Jessica. She ( Amy) becomes the top suspect in the case owing to her strained relationship with her deceased co-star. Cambria can’t see her friend behind bars and starts investigating the case.
