Author Spotlight: C. Meadows

Before meeting C. Meadows, I didn’t know much about cozy mysteries. But her PJ mystery, No Coincidence, captivated me with its warm characters, home-cooked meals, jewelry making, Wyoming scenery, and murder.

C. Meadows has just released the second book in the series, PJ and the Vegas Showgirl. In this book, Abby Chase returns with her loving dog, PJ, who has a knack for finding bodies. Abby is trying to make a living as a cook on a remote Wyoming ranch when PJ finds an unconscious woman on a Wyoming mountain pullout during a snowstorm. While Abby tries her best to rescue the woman, she dies at the hospital. Now the woman’s family is accusing Abby of stealing jewelry from the woman and Abby must solve the murder to clear her name.

After you read the book, please leave her a review. I’d love for this series to get the attention it deserves, and attract readers from all over.

And in case you haven’t had a chance to read the first book, here’s the review I left on Goodreads:

In this book, C. Meadows captures the beauty of Wyoming life. The protagonist, Abby Chase, finds peace and healing in nature. And while she finds her world unraveling and endures anonymous harassment, she tries to start her new life following an unexpected divorce. With her faithful dog, PJ, as her constant companion, she uses the beauty of her surroundings to inspire her art and metalsmithing while trying to solve the mystery behind the disappearance of a hunter and a sudden slew of poaching on the ranch.
It’s a mystery that captures the coziness of ranch life while also highlighting the hard work and hardships of living in the country.
The characters are endearing, and the cooking involved throughout the story leaves me wanting to taste the creations made in the book. There’s also a lot of intrigue and tension that keeps the reader engaged and filled with the need to keep turning the pages until the very end.
There’s something so realistic and enchanting about the characters that when I’d set the book down I’d find I wanted to pick it back up and sit and have a conversation with them.
