Jamie Quinn Mystery Collection: Box Set Books 1-3 by Barbara Venkataraman

Jamie Quinn Mystery Collection: Box Set Books 1-3 by Barbara Venkataraman
My Rating: ★★★★

The Jamie Quinn mysteries follows a reluctant family lawyer who becomes latched to a series of murder mysteries in this box set. Jamie is a funny character who decides to just wing the first time she becomes involved with a murder mystery. The first time she becomes involved is because her dear nephew is accused of murder, and she dives face first into criminal law to make sure he doesn't go down for a crime he didn't commit.

I rather liked the three books in this collection. It took me a little bit to get into the first book, but I found myself engrossed after a couple of chapters. The characters are likable, and some of them are funny and nice to see returning story after story. I feel invested in Jamie's life because it's more than just murder mystery. As the collection goes on, we slowly become involved in her personal mysteries, such as watching her search for her father. It'll be interesting to see how the story will continue to progress because there is a bit of a mixture of personal and work related mysteries in varying degrees. So far, it's an entertaining series and I'm invested in the characters and their stories. I love the friendships that I've seen form and the pre-existing ones, and I'm looking forward to seeing where Venkataraman decides to take us on Jamie's journey.
