Title: Artful
Dodger
Author: NageebaDavis
Review: Maggie
Kean is an art teacher and sculptor who can’t cook even toast without burning
it. To make matters worse she stumbles upon a dead body all before 8am. After
giving her statement over and over again to the police Maggie learns she is the
prime suspect. To clear her name Maggie starts her own investigation only finding
herself falling for the sexy detective, finding an illegitimate child and
trying to avoid two spoiled brats all before lunch.
I am sent a list of free Amazon books each
week and this week Artful Dodger was on the list and I thought it sounded cute.
Little did I know I would find myself laughing out loud, totally rooting for
Maggie as she tries to help the police find the person who murdered her dear
friend.
The Artful Dodgers is an easy fun mystery with
the right amount of dark and light humor to make it an enjoyable read.
Nageeba writes wonderful scenes with verbal
sparring between the hero and heroine that will have the reader laughing.
Nageeba created a strong female heroine who doesn’t back down from a fight and
will fight for what she knows is right.
Did Nageeba create an original character? No but what she created was
two very fun and memorable characters who had me laughing. It’s a wonderful
summer pool read with the right amount of mystery and romance. Do I plan to
read the next in the series? Yes. I could recommend this book to almost
anything since there was very little languages and no sex scenes.
Thanks Heidi for this review.

Why I
Read this Title: Free on Kindle.
Synopsis: Take
one funny, wise-cracking artist, one gorgeous, sexy detective, throw in a
grizzly murder, a little amateur sleuthing, and you have the makings of a wild,
romantic, misadventure.
Art
teacher and sculptor Maggie Kean thought she was having a rotten day, burning
her toast, stubbing her toe, and all before eight in the morning. Things just
couldn't get any worse. At least, until the dead body clogs up her toilet. To
make matters worse, Maggie becomes the prime suspect. Now all she has to do is
evade the police, clear her name, trap a killer...and deal with one
mouth-watering, hunky detective who drives her crazy while making her hormones
do the happy dance.

Information: I
knew I wanted to write from the time I was a little girl. I was writing in
journals long before John-boy Walton ever picked up a pencil…but, in full
disclosure, I did switch over to tablets after watching him on the show. (Just
writing that sentence made me nostalgic enough to go online and purchase one
again.) As so often is the case, reading and writing go hand-in-hand. When I
was young, my mother took the kids (there were three of us at the time) to the
library every week. Years later, she told me that I was always much more
enthusiastic about the trips than my older brothers, who would rather spend
time beating each other up–but I loved to read. A true geeky bookworm. If I
could have built a home at that age, it would have looked exactly like a
library…minus the brothers.
Writing
was a natural path for me. What could be more exciting than creating a story of
my own, getting it published and seeing it on a bookshelf? Life just couldn’t
get any better than that.
