5* Review for Major Crimes
Reviewed by Trudi LoPreto for Readers' Favorite
When Chelsey comes home to find Bryce in her living room, she is scared, surprised, but yet secretly glad to see him. Bryce is a police detective who has been accused of murdering his friend and retiring chief of police Archie Wallace. Chelsey is a novice private detective and she vows to prove Bryce innocent. The pair quickly finds themselves in trouble and are forced to ask Chelsey’s boss Freddy for help, who immediately has them hide at his brother’s house. Geri and Frank are true Italians who believe the answer to all problems is to sit down and have a good meal. Bryce is told to stay out of sight and Chelsey goes out in search of clues to prove there is reasonable doubt that Bryce is not the murderer. Chelsey uses her own quirky methods in interviewing suspects, searching out clues, and avoiding the police who are looking for her. Romance is on the cards for Chelsey as well with an ex-husband, an unresponsive boyfriend, and of course, Bryce.
Major Crimes is a whimsical, fun, light hearted mystery. Michele Lynn Seigfried has created characters with great personalities that are very true to their New Jersey roots. If you are looking for a good mystery with a touch of humor, romance, detective work and more, then Major Crimes (Jersey Shore Mystery Series Book 4) is a surefire winner. I have not read any of the other three books, but it was never a problem; the story was new and fresh and there was never any question as to what information I could be missing. This is a quick and entertaining mystery sleuth book that I highly recommend.

Book Review: Major Crimes
The first of the reviews is in for Major Crimes and I am so excited to share it with you!
Here is what Diane Donovan, Senior Reviewer for Midwest Book Reviews had to say:
Major Crimes is a revealing, compelling mystery story that’s hard to put down. Driven by interpersonal relationships, a sassy combination of fun and angst, murder and mayhem, and dangerous associations, it’s an emotion-driven and yet is a light, fun mystery that’s perfect for a cozy winter’s night.
Book Four in the Jersey Shore is a ‘cozy mystery’ perfect for newcomers to the mystery series as well as prior fans, and it opens with a heart-stopping scenario that portends danger from its first moment: the protagonist returns home to find her front door unlocked – and she’s always meticulous about locking it, even though she owns little of value.
She searches her house instead of fleeing or phoning the police – and finds a surprise. It’s an unannounced visit, and one that affects Chelsey’s good judgment (and ultimately lands her into big trouble) as she becomes personally involved in a convoluted crime whose twists and turns seem to have no end.
As the story line switches perspectives between characters, readers catch a good glimpse of motivations, unspoken feelings, and complications faced by the single mother. Chapter headings do a fine job of informing readers about these changing perspectives and help keep everything on track as the complex mystery unwinds.
Police interrogations, murder, relationships between exs still bound by children, uncertain connections that may (or may not) indicate romance: all these are wound into a story line that is spiced with children, husbands, parents, police departments and ex-cops.
At the center of this whirlwind is Chelsey, whose strongest connections with men have also proved to be her most unstable foundations. Three men in her life have failed her. One has done something crazy. One is falling in love. And the choices Chelsey is forced to make around all three will change her life.

I’m hoping to schedule a book tour in late January or early February. If you want to participate in the book tour or be a beta reader, just let me know and I’ll hook you up! Email me at micheleseigfried@gmail.com or comment below!
