California schemin seems to pick up up where Moonlighting in Vermont left off. I haven't read Murder in Vermont. so i was a little confused at first. Bree MacGowen goes on vacation to Northern California with Beau her boyfriend to try to recover from finding a dead body at the inn she worked at in Vermont. While taking pictures of a bridge Bree sees a women fall from the bridge into the river. Bree wades in to try to save her only to find the women was murdered. Soon people are after her trying to find out what she saw and what she said to the police. Beau's cabin is ransacked and his car searched. Bree decides to go back to Vermont but trouble follows her and she finds herself back in California courtesy of two operatives Moose and Hammie. Bree decides she has to help solve the crime of what happened and what was going on with the women on the bridge and why she ended up dead. A very interesting murder mystery. ( ) Excellent book! I really like this series about Bree McGowan. The characters are funny and quirky. I love the settings -- the first book was in Vermont and this one is set in California (thus the name). The situations the main character finds herself in are a little outlandish, but hey, its fiction, right? A definitely fun cozy book. California Schemin' by Kate George, sadly was a disappointment for me. It was an easy, light and fast, I kept searching for the mystery but it sort of disappeared. There were funny parts like the shape shifting federal agent but when Bree MacGowan held hostage it just went on and on. It was difficult to figure who were the villains. I just wanted her to escape and be done with the crew of captors. The opening of this book was brilliant, Bree is outdoors taking pictures of wildlife and then notices a flash of pink and a woman drops from very tall bridge. But then the book starts a lengthy slide downhill. So the good part of the book is the opening. I would have liked more emphasis on the shape shifter. Her boyfriend should have been dropped a long time ago. Sorry, I cannot recommend this book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN' She's on a Killer Vacation Kate George is the winner of the 2009 Daphne De Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery and Suspense, Mainstream Division. "California Schemin' is the hilarious sequel to Moonlighting in Vermont by Kate George and, once again, features the headstrong but lovable Bella Bree MacGowan. Schemin's a good old fashioned cozy mystery that infuses the author's witty sense of humor, plenty of suspense, some great writing, and an engaging and action-packed plot. ...George's knack for creating really great three-dimensional characters, that are anything but mundane, is a breath of fresh air." - BJ Scott, Manchester Examiner Finding one dead body is unlucky. Finding two means you're Bella Bree MacGowan. Most people can relax by an idyllic riverside without fishing a dead body out of the water; Bree MacGowan is not most people. And as luck would have it, it's not just any old corpse she's tripped over this time. It's the late wife of Senator R. Carl Wallace, a paragon of upstanding American citizenship to anyone who looks... unless they look too closely. Which is, of course, exactly what Bree does, and what she finds is definitely more trouble than she bargained for. Where power and murder collide, danger follows, and Bree soon finds herself the target of break-ins, vandalism and kidnapping, all at the hands of the dubious Senator who insists that she identify two criminals she's never seen before as the people who killed his wife. Now Bree has to save herself and the ones she loves from a conspiracy where the bad guys look good, the good guys look bad, and nothing is as it seems...
