Cluttered Attic Secrets by Jan Christensen my review
Review Courtesy of April Hollingworth
This is the third book in the Tina Tales series, though each book carries on Tina’s story, they are all designed to be read as standalones, as each book is a new case for her. I found this one intriguing mainly due to the mystery Tina is trying to solve, and how Hank’s work is given a bit more insight into. With new characters and a fare amount of intrigue, this is a fabulous story in the Tina Tales series.
Opening Scene:
“Tina?” Leslie whispered when Tina answered her cell phone. “What are you doing?”
The Review:
After receiving a midnight phone call, professional organizer Tina Shaw rushes to her friend’s house, to see if she really saw a ghost. Strange noises greet Tine upon arriving at Leslie’s, cluttered Rhode Island, Victorian attic. When police and firefighters arrive outside, they discover a murdered man in Leslie’s garden, with a note proclaiming him as Joshua Young.
Tina is determined to help her friend solve not only the mystery of the noises in her attic, but why a man was killed outside her house. A man with the same name as Leslie’s father, who grew up in the house. When Tina’s boyfriend, demands she quits the case declaring it too dangerous, Tina knows this is bigger than she ever expected, after all, Hank has ties to the police. Determined to solve the mystery of Joshua Young and the secrets in the attic, can Tina solve them before the murderer strikes again?
Notable Scene:
“What have you been up to since I’ve been gone?” Hank asked.
“Just chasing a ghost with Leslie.”
Hank looked startled, but only for a second.
“You’re not serious.”
“Do I ever kid you?” Tina grinned.
“Of course not. However, you never mentioned it when we talked on the phone.”
“We just started yesterday. She heard some noises in the attic last night and called me.” Tina told him everything, only pausing when the food came. When done, she took a bite of shrimp and waited for his reaction.
