Summary

Dream career - gone. The perfect boyfriend - just out of reach. Temp jobs - mind-numbingly dull. Until she finds the body.

After Scarlett Chase is fired from her dream job, she is stuck working temp jobs while she figures out what to do with her life. Her current job of the week might be the most boring of them all until a flash of lightning during a spring storm plunges the entire office building into darkness. When the lights come back on, Scarlett finds Willow Dawn, the eccentric soul healer from upstairs, lying dead behind the dumpster out back. Too bad handsome construction worker Austin Howard is standing over the body holding what could either be a tool of the trade or the murder weapon.

But not everything may be as it seems. In fact, while Scarlett is hunting down clues and trying to save Willow Dawn’s now-abandoned emotional support goat and hamsters, she learns that almost every tenant in the building is hiding a secret or two. Scarlett can’t help but try to untangle the web of lies and mystery. Soon she finds herself in a race to uncover the murderer before she ends up being the next victim. Murder - unlike her job - is not temporary.

First in a clever and fun new cozy mystery series.

Not a bad day at work for a temp

I really enjoyed this book, it was a lot of fun. The author certainly knows how to write an entertaining mystery that kept me guessing. I even picked up on the big clue and then promptly forgot all about it, until the heroine put of all together. The mystery was good with plenty of suspects, hence the guessing. I also liked the way the victim hid all her treasures in unusual places. But it was the characters that I really liked. I have read or listened to a lot of cozy mysteries and this book is so different from the norm that It was like a breath of fresh air from the unusual job situation, to even the serious side with her dad being injured, not forgetting the unusual choice of the goat in an office building. There was defiantly a lot of scope for all the different characters. It was just a fun quirky mystery and I can't wait to dive into the next book and job.
One silly mistake and Scarlett finds herself without a boyfriend, money or even a job, so when her best friend suggests she temps for a denizen her office building, Scarlett doesn't hesitate its only for a week what could go wrong? Apparently a lot because on the first day there is a power cut, an embarrassing encounter with a goat and her mistress. Oh and she finds a dead body and the cute guy she just meet might be the killer. When nobody in the building wants to take on the care for the goat Scarlett steps up and is the perfect place to discover the murder victims secrets and why somebody keeps breaking into her office. Can Scarlett find the time to do the job she is actually getting paid for as well as work out who in the building could be a killer? With everybody having alibi's for the time of the murder, she will have to work out what the motive is it she hopes to keep the cute guy out of jail that is of course it be isn't the killer.
I liked the narrator. She gave each character there own voice which really helped to bring the story and humour to life.
