In Mint Condition: A Me Too Mystery by M.L. OrtegaMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was an interesting cozy mystery. I was interested in picking this up after having read Shampoo & Condition by the author a few months ago. This is novella length (around 150 pages) and follows the same characters from the first book on another murder investigation. I don't believe you need to read the books in order, the the same characters are involved in unrelated cases. This reads like a standalone or what I consider a companion novel in a series.
This follows Jane and Maggie as they happen to find yet another dead body and insert themselves into the investigation. It almost felt like there were two different stories being told and they were connected by the victim.
Parts of this feel a bit far fetched, but if you like cozy mysteries you are here for the entertainment factor not the technical details of a police procedural. While this is pretty clean it does mention past trauma that Maggie experienced, so it may be triggering for some readers.
