Meet Alexa Owl. She’s returned home to Pittsburgh after a divorce to start a new life and a new business, The Owl’s Nest Couturier Shoppe. Much to her surprise, she’s getting more than she ever bargained for: Detective Bobby Starr, and he’s no ordinary sleuth. Bobby is an angel who’s returned to Earth in hopes of earning his way into the Guardian Angel Squad. He’s been sent by none other than Saint Pete to acquire Alexa’s help to solve three cold case murders he left behind. Except, here’s the catch: he’s only been allotted four days to solve the first case! How in heaven’s name is she supposed to do that? Alexa is a professional seamstress—not a detective. Bobby insists the only way to solve the first case is to return to 1953, and Alexa’s not in love with that idea at all!
Ms. McDonald resides on her Thoroughbred farm known as Fly by Night Stables near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with her husband, Bill, and her Cocker Spaniel, Allister.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Author C.S.McDonald takes us back to the 1950s.
Alexa Owl is starting over; being newly divorced she returns
home to Pittsburgh to start a new business. She is in her apartment when angel;
detective Bobby Starr appears and tells Alexa that she has been selected by
Saint Peter to assist Bobby in solving the cold case murder of his second wife
from his past. Along the way, Alexa meets a cast of captivating, vivacious
characters, while helping Bobby crack the case. This was my first time reading
anything by McDonald besides being an unusual cozy mystery; I really did enjoy
traveling back in time with Alexa and Bobby.
