Death by Didgeridoo by Barbara Venkataraman
Jamie Quinn Mystery Book 1
Reluctant lawyer, Jamie Quinn, still reeling from the death of her mother, is pulled into a game of deception, jealousy, and vengeance when her cousin, Adam, is wrongfully accused of murder. It’s up to Jamie to find the real murderer before it’s too late. It doesn’t help that the victim is a former rock star with more enemies than friends, or that Adam confessed to a murder he didn’t commit.

And she’s hoping that, in his spare time, he can help her find her long-lost father…

There’s big trouble in the park system. Someone is making life difficult for Jamie Quinn’s boyfriend, Kip Simons, the new director of Broward County parks.

If Jamie can’t figure it out soon, she may be looking for a new boyfriend because there’s a dead guy in the park and Kip has gone missing! With the help of her favorite P.I., Duke Broussard, Jamie must race the clock to find Kip before it’s too late.
Jamie Quinn Mystery Collection Box Set: Books 1-3
My Thoughts
The Jamie Quinn Mysteries by Barbara Venkataraman is a box set collection of the first three books in the Jamie Quinn Mystery series. The collection comes in at a little over 330 pages. I thought the length of each book (especially when brought together as a collection like this) was just right. I found myself really liking Jamie from the start of book one, and I quickly read through the three books in this collection. I liked the story lines. These were cozies with just a little more ‘oomph’ than others. It just felt like they had something special going on in them. 🙂 I definitely recommend these books to anyone who likes fast, page-turning cozy mysteries with interesting stories and fun characters.
