Tattoo Shop Mystery, Book 1

Synopsis: Murder leaves a mark

Brett Kavanaugh is a tattoo artist and owner of an elite tattoo parlor in Las Vegas. When a girl makes an appointment for a tattoo of the name of her fiancé embedded in a heart, Brett takes the job but the girl never shows. The next thing Brett knows, the police are looking for her client, and the name she wanted on the tattoo isn’t her fiancé’s…

Review: I was curious to start this series for some time and I finally got into The Missing Ink. It’s been a long time since I had read a cozy mystery novel but it’s always a pleasure to go back to the genre.

I really appreciated the fact that the universe is happening in the tattooing world. This is not often the case and I found it very interesting. Brett Kavanaugh has her own tattoo shop in Las Vegas and everything goes smoothly until a young woman comes in to ask for a tattoo and disappears even before the job is done. On the front of the media scene, Brett will try to understand what could have happened to the young woman. And even her police brother will not prevent her from discovering the truth!

I really had a great time with this novel. I went into the investigation without suspecting how it would end. I found that the author had managed to train us and make us doubt about all the characters and I can tell you that we can not expect the events! Brett’s actions are carefully monitored and we wonder who the culprit is. Yes, Brett is a great heroine but we will discover many other secondary characters that make us have a great time too!

I have already ordered the sequel to read what the author has in store for us!

    I have a weakness for stories set in Las Vegas, and it’s related to tattoos to boot! Love the sound of this!
