Piper and Samantha are in heaven. Well, close. After winning a contest to raise the most money for human trafficking awareness and prevention, Piper and Sam are rewarded with a long weekend at the O Heavenly Day Spa. When mysterious notes start appearing everywhere, things get uncomfortable. When spa treatments go awry it is starting to get dangerous. A threatening message in Piper’s closet convinces Piper and Sam that they have to find out who is behind all of these disasters before someone gets hurt. Is it Broussard the stuffy concierge? Gladys, the sweet old lady who decided to join them for the weekend? When the smoke alarms go off and the spa erupts into panic, the chaos separates the friends and Piper stumbles into trouble. Will her friends be able to help her in time?

Who is sending these weird notes?

Rest, Relax, Run for Your Life by Katherine H. Brown is a different kind of cozy. We have our main sleuth, her friend, but not a crime except for these weird notes popping around. It was pretty entertaining though.

What I like:

Written in the first-person with Piper, our sleuth, being the narrator.
A different kind of cozy with not having a murder victim in it but a string of notes.
Piper co-owns the bakery called Ooey-Gooey Bakery and does most of the treats

What I don’t like:

The one thing that I didn’t like is that I am unsure of what the crime was until the climax of the story, but I am happy with the ending. It was a good book.

Five Star

Rest, Relax, Run for Your Life by Katherine H. Brown is a cozy mystery with a different kind of a crime as it doesn’t deal with a dead body. It was good, and I was enthralled with the story and the mystery. I am giving it a five-star rating and recommending it to anyone that likes cozy mysteries.

Anyways until the next time enjoy this review brought to you by,

About Katherine H. Brown

Katherine Brown is a Texas girl with books in her blood. She has been reading as long as she can remember and has been “making books” from the time she was a child. Her first few were of a non-traditional binding – cardboard & wrapping paper stapled with handwritten pages in the middle & a ribbon closure! Her love of books runs deep and she hopes to encourage readers of all ages to explore and use their imagination by helping them fall in love with books just like she did.

Katherine is married to a wonderful man, Patrick, and has a spunky, smart, amazing step-daughter Lexi. Lexi is the biggest fan of this author’s first published series, School is Scary, and is constantly asking when the next book will be finished so she can read it too.
