Review: Perfect Sax

Madeline Bean owns and runs Mad Bean Catering. They are catering an event to raise funds for the Woodburn School of Music. A rare saxophone is auctioned off for one hundred thousand dollars at the Jazz Ball. Unfortunately when the couple prepares to leave with their new saxophone, it is discovered the case is empty. Someone has stolen the saxophone at the auction.

Before coming to the Ball, Madeline found trash strewn around her yard. It turns out to the papers belong to a nearby neighbor. When she sees this neighbor at the Ball, she tries to set up a time to return the papers to him. He misunderstands and thinks she’s trying to blackmail them.

Can this night get any stranger? Oh, yes. When Madeline Bean is involved, nothing is simple and uncomplicated.

When she finally gets home, and I’ll let you read the story to find out about her adventure in getting home, she finds a woman has been murdered in her bed. The police thought it was her. When her friends hear the report, they think it’s her. Even Chuck Honnett, her ex-boyfriend the police detective, thought it was her.

She goes to stay with Wes until things can be sorted out and her house cleaned up. Soon it is discovered that she is in danger. Who is after her and why? Who can she trust besides Wes?

Then there is another murder and Madeline decides she’d better look into things before she becomes the next victim.

This is a fabulous series. I always enjoy reading about Madeline Bean’s adventures. It is always a fast-paced, easy cozy to read. I can’t wait for the next one!

The characters are wonderful. I always enjoy mysteries with food in them. And the writing is superb. I highly recommend this book and the whole series.
