#TAGME FOR MURDER by SARAH E. BURR

Release date: April 25, 2023

Rating: 4 out of 5.

I received this advanced copy from NetGalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I love cozy mysteries. They’re always fun, and I fall in love with the cast of characters. Sarah E. Burr’s #TagMe For Murder hit all the right notes for me. It was funny; it was light; the stakes were medium, and the characters were like having some friends over to hang out.

#TagMe is the second book in Burr’s Trending Topic Mysteries series, which follows Coco Cline, a social media specialist and influencer as she plays amateur detective when she inadvertently finds herself in the middle of murder cases.

I have not read the first book in the series, #FollowMe For Murder, but I didn’t feel lost. In fact, reading this one has made me want to go back and read the first book in the series!

#TagMe took me a little while to get into, but once we were sleuthing along with Coco, it became hard to put down. I needed to know “whodunit.” Coco and Hudson are a delightful couple and I really enjoyed their interactions, as well as the interactions Coco had with Jasper. I felt there were just enough characters to make it interesting, but not too many to not remember who each character was.

The mystery was typical of a cozy, and I honestly did not know “whodunit” until Coco began putting the puzzle together near the end, which I loved. Usually, in some cozies, you can figure out who the perpetrator is early on. I loved that it kept me guessing.

If you’re looking for a fun beach read, I highly recommend you check out this book. Maybe even start with the first book, I’m sure you won’t regret spending more time with Coco and her crew.
