Pinned 4 Murder review

Tari Hann

This is the thirteenth book in the Sophie Kimball Mysteries by husband and wife team Ann Goldfarb and Jim Clapp who write as J.C. Eaton and from what I’ve read, this couple lives in Sun City West and borrows ideas from the people there and their pets. Their own sweet chiweenie Streetboy crossed over Rainbow Bridge last year, but I’m betting he lives in on in all the antics of that adorable Streetman, Harriet’s chiweenie. What a sweet little clown!

For some odd reason, someone added another J.C. Eaton page to GR, but their actual bio page is what I linked above, trust me I’ve read a lot of their books and it’s the one I always use. I need to get a GR friend who’s a librarian there to fix this issue. And book 13 needs to be with the other books on the series page as well.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my goodness, I always have the best time reading books in this series and laughing my head off at different parts. The parts which usually involve Streetman getting loose and terrorizing a village, the dog park, someone’s house…or a bowling alley. That little rascal, oh now I sound like Harriet lol. Yep, what you see on the adorable cover really happened!

The main mystery sure seemed complicated and there was a side mystery that showcased a character we didn’t usually see much, Gloria Wong, friend of the book club. Well we usually heard more about Thor her Great Dane. Poor thing was going through a cyber scam she refused to believe was real. For this and other tense but fun and hilarious moments, don’t miss this installment in the Sophie Kimball series!

Grilled 4 Murder review

Tari Hann

This is the tenth book in the hilarious Sophie Kimball Mysteries series written by husband and wife team J.C. Eaton also known as Sun City West residents themselves, Ann Goldfarb and Jim Clapp. I felt so bad for them when I read how the inspiration for the rascally Streetman, their Streetboy, had gone to Rainbow Bridge. I’m happy he’ll live on in silly Streetman who now has a little partner in craziness! It’s always so fun to get lost in the world of Sun City West and the ever-patient Phee who has to deal with everything.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Sun City West book club ladies and their buddies the pinochle guys were in rare form this time! There’s never a dull moment where either group is concerned, and there was plenty of hilarity to go along with it. Harriet and the ladies especially had an agenda since Paul and Herb were the top suspects in a guy’s death. The side stories that went along with it, especially little Streetman finding himself a cat friend just added to the usual craziness!

I love all these characters and think it’s pretty awesome that the couple who writes this series actually lives out there. I’ve heard them talking online about how everyday life is sometimes fair game to make it into a book, lol. I’m really crazy about Streetman, although in real life he probably wouldn’t like me that well since he doesn’t seem to like anyone except Harriet lol. Now that he had a partner in crime and mischief, there was no stopping him! The whodunit kept me guessing until the reveal. I absolutely can’t wait for the next in series. It’s always a barrel of fun!
