Sophie (Phee)Kimball is an accountant for a firm of private investigators. She just can't help getting involved in more than she should.

Two little old ladies she knows think something is going on at the retirement home they live in. When a murder gets added to the mix the whole firm must investigate.

This is a very humourous mystery, with fabulous characters. It's nice to have a heroine in her forties who is getting lots of help from the older generation.

There is a nice little bit of romance as part of the back story that connects the rest of the series. You can read this as a stand alone but if you intend to read the series I would recommend reading them in order.

A lovely light-hearted murder/mystery.

Good fun.

I liked this book. It's fun, has interesting characters and is easy to read. I really liked the comic the Phee's mother, dog and friends brought to the book The investigating and movement of the plot is nicely written, it moves right along with an non-relevant spots. The ending was a surprise in many ways. I definitely will be reading more in this series. #Molded4Murder #NetGalley

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read this book!

This was my first book in this series, although not the first I've read by this author. I really enjoyed how this was set up, because Sophie or Phee as she's known, has a unique aspect in being a bookkeeper for a private investigation firm. This means she is privy to some different information than our usual cozy sleuths, as well as having a team behind her with more resources. She still has a network of sources on her own, as well as a knack for investigation, but it's not the only thing.

The mystery was really different too, like none I've ever read. I liked how everything tied together, because at first all I could see was the pieces and it was satisfying to see everything come together. Things you couldn't even fathom being related ended up important in the end, and the characters you dismissed as background noise were the focus. I also liked the almost comedic appearances by the Mother and the Aunt, and I have to ask what the heck with the name 'Streetman' but somehow that worked too!

If you're looking for a new cozy, then this is a real gem Five stars.

A new to me author and is an enjoyable read, well written and wonderful characters some of which are hilarious.

Molded 4 murder.
New series for me even though it’s the fifth book of the series.
Loved the characters, fun read , Phee mother Harriet’s a scream.
kept you entertained .
Enjoyed the plot with plenty of twists .
Definitely will go back and read the rest of the series.

When a rather famous clay artist is found murdered, he was clutching a piece of paper with two names on it, Sophie Kimball’s mother and her mother’s friend. Are the two women next on a killer’s hit list? That’s what the detective agency Sophie works for is going to find out as they collaborate with the local police. Soon Sophie finds herself embroiled in the whole thing as the net is cast wider and wider to find a killer.

This is a great series and I adore Sophie. We can all relate to her relationship with her mother as it hits close to home, heck, I can even relate to a canine sibling. Sophie seems to be Nate and Marshall’s lucky charm and I hope the series keeps on going. Each book is better than the last with solid characters and plots.

So this is another adventure of Phee in her newly adopted state of Arizona. Things are going well with her new boss and boyfriend. However he seems to be busy a lot with cases. She gets asked by 2 little old ladies to investigate some missing items in their retirement home. This ends up tying in to a case that Marshall is working on with the death of a potter. I really wanted to like this book. My family lives in Sun City Grand and I am familiar with the area. However, there are a few things that I have a hard time accepting. First of all, Maricopa County is a huge county, I don't understand how they would need to hire 2 retired police officers-now private investigators when they should have someone on staff that would have the skills needed. There were several plot points brought up that were not fully explained or answered by the end of the book. I don't like to specify those as they would be a spoiler for anyone not having read this yet. It is overall a good read, but facts are not completely well thought out.

Molded 4 Murder is a adorable cozy mystery with wonderful characters and storyline. I would love to read more by this author.

I enjoy the setting (I know a bit about the location from personal experience). The characters are interesting and the annoying ones are mellowing or I'm getting used to them. The mystery is good and kept me guessing. I also like that Phee and Marshall have a good relationship, and the other workers in the office are close knit group

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for my eARC in exchange for an honest review.
