Death at the Door: A Ruby and Cordelia Mystery (The Ruby and Cordelia Mysteries, 2)

Ruby Young has an unconventional living situation. She was lucky to find a fully furnished apartment in a new city, but the previous owner, Cordelia Graves currently deceased, came with it. Together, they formed a friendship, though communication is sometimes an issue; Ruby can’t imagine her life in Boston without Cordelia. In their short time together, they managed to solve one murder mystery, only to be thrown into another. A big meeting at Ruby’s office turns into a crime scene, and everyone who was at the meeting is a suspect. The police don’t seem to be trying very hard, so Ruby and Cordelia are determined to find out what happened.

Somewhere between a cozy and a crime mystery, this is a fun series with vibrant characters, authentic dialogue, and a well-thought-out plot. The author does a great job of catching readers up, so if you missed the first book in this series, you won’t be lost. However, I do recommend starting with the first book, because it’s great! I normally do not enjoy cliffhangers, but I love this series so much that I can’t wait for the next installment. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves murder mysteries.
