Nixed in Notting Hill is Book 9 in the Cassie Coburn Series by Samantha Chase.
I absolutely enjoyed this book so much. This is such a great series set in the London.
When the head of a major publishing company is murdered, Cassie and Violet are on the case.
The characters are well developed and real. I love the dialogue between Cassie and Violet, they respect one another but are not afraid to express their differing opinions.
The mystery was great, I did not see that coming.
This is a series and book I highly recommend!

3.5*
J'ai lu ce tome en anglais, alors que tous les autres, je les avais lus en français. J'ai bien apprécié. On voit bien la manière de parler des personnages, notamment de Violet, qui dit des mots en français, par exemple (ce qu'on ne peut pas voir avec la vf). J'ai trouvé l'ensemble bien écrit, et plaisant à lire
Dans ce tome, Violet et Cassie enquêtent sur la mort d'une femme, qui travaille dans l'édition. Il y a plusieurs suspects ! Cassie continue son travail de médecin. Depuis un ou deux tomes, ce livre a un thème moitié médecine (on voit les urgences d'un hôpital), et moitié enquêtes de meurtres
J'ai trouvé amusant que soit incluse dans ce livre une critique de polar dans le fil du récit, j'ai bien aimé la lire. Par ailleurs, il y a mention de Goodreads, et autres aspects de lecture...
Je ne vois plus Brianne depuis au moins deux tomes...Cassie l'a t-elle oubliée ? Par ailleurs, dans ce tome, il n'y a pas de scène de danger, c'est une petite différence
C'était assez prévisible sur un aspect, Cassie parle de quelque chose en longueur, et du coup comme je savais qu'elle se trompait, c'était un peu agaçant (c'était facile à deviner :/)
Il y avait des fautes de français dans les termes en français....lol
Sinon, j'aime bien la dose d'auto-dérision de Violet
Bon, je commence à me lasser un petit peu de cette série, c'est bientôt terminé. Le fait de lire en anglais a ravivé un peu mon intérêt, toutefois
Encore un bon tome, je me demande comment va se conclure cette série ? (Encore deux tomes, si je ne fais pas d'erreur).

Publishing is Murder
Love this series & this new Cassie Coburn is a real treat. Violet Depuis, easily the equal of a certain S. Holmes, is as bored as said Holmes. She's reduced to solving a domestic murder. Cassie's happy to join in, however, when a publisher of several popular mystery/thriller writers is found murdered not once but twice. Violet must sort out who the killer(s) might be when the possible suspects write murders for a living. This story has one of the best cast of characters in the whole series. They are quirky, pompous or just plain scary. Plus we get to see Cassie at work in her medical profession at St. Thomas' A&E (hospital emergency room). Samantha Silver writes one heck of a cosy mystery. If this is your first encounter with the Cassie Coburn mysteries, you'll want to read the rest of them too.

Violet and Cassie have a new case.
Two actually.
Violet is bored so she takes a murder case that she solves in less than an hour.
The second case has more of a challenge.
An editor is found murdered in her home.
The only problem is that some of the evidence doesn't match the crime.
Pro's:
Developed characters a good plotline
Con's:
Violet is becoming less of an interesting character.
She still has the pompous combination of Poirot and Holmes.
She just lacks a good sparing partner.
Cassie, while being a trained medical doctor, while being curious and wanting to be included,
is not a Watson or Hastings.

I absolutely adore these books, and the series is one of my favorite cozy series. I think I love them because these are about Violet and Cassie...not the fumbling sheriff boyfriend swooping in and saving the women prevalent in so many other cozy mysteries. They save themselves. They work together, and they figure it out.
I hope she writes more, and I've already pre-ordered book 10.

This is a 3.5 I almost rate it a 4 because I like the series so much. I rated it down as I guessed partially who done it...

Great read
Just finished reading the whole series and loved every minute of each book. Great characters, interesting plots, and an all around great story.
