An animal trainer, a foreign castle, and a murder. What can go wrong?I've been on the hunt for a cozy mystery series set in a castle or mansion or similar for some time now—none of this "I inherited a quaint little cottage without running water, how sweet!" business; I want "I inherited a rambling old manor with so many rooms that I will still be finding new ones in the eleventh book!" So here we are.In Mystery at Monrovia Castle, Rebecca is finding her feet again after simultaneously losing her

This book was a nice little mystery! I loved how integrated Joe was into this story. Joe and his little quirks were The mystery had me reeled into this story!The cover is amazing and I love that we get to see what Joe looks like without having to put the book down and search it on our own!

★★★★★Delphia Von Heeder

Mystery at Monrovia Castle is Book 1 in The Rebecca Orange Castle Cozy Mystery Series by Valerie Brandy. I thought that the author wrote an enjoyable first book laying a solid foundation for the series. Rebecca got dumped and fired by her boss. But, she landed on her feet getting a job in a castle. I love animals in books and Rebecca get to care for the royal animals… what a great job except for the dead architect. I received an arc for free and am leaving my review voluntarily.
