Janika is just getting her Detective Agency set up and had several pro-bono jobs going. She has a poisoning, a car theft, an insurance fraud, and an art collector's job to work on. And only one will pay her any money, but they all will give her experience and build her reputation. Unfortunately, I am reading these stories out of order but they are very easy to follow the story line. This set of stories are an off shoot of Abi Button stories that are prominently featured in this book. I'm really enjoying both series!
Shoes Clues and Danger: A Button Up Detective Agency Cozy Mystery #3
by Lizzie Lewis
When Janika Jones started the Button Up Detective Agency, she was reluctant to get involved in matrimonial problems. However, a desperate call from a woman whose life could be in danger convinces Janika that she needs to take action, urgently.
Meanwhile, Piers Pillinger wants Janika to carry out another job involving Humphrey Broxburn, the owner of a West End art gallery. Piers assures Janika that she is in no danger and she can trust Humphrey absolutely, but when she is bundled into a blacked out vehicle in the centre of London, she wonders who has been deceiving who.
A major theft from the Mill Lane Garage where Rupert Forrester works makes suspicion fall on Rupert who was last to leave and should have locked up and set the alarm. But did he forget? Janika gets assistance from Toby Walton as she tries to track down the thief and put Rupert in the clear. As Janika says about Toby, “He’s not really my boyfriend.” But Abi and Alice have other ideas.
Told by Janika Jones, this is the third slightly darker spin-off from the series of six Abi Button Cozy Mystery Romance books, also by Lizzie Lewis. Although mainly about Janika, she interacts with many of the main Abi Button story characters.
