Cindy has done it again. She's taken me on a rip-roaring-laugh-out-loud ride with the hilarious antics and exploits of Cassie Baxter. This fast-paced whodunit was a fun read and I enjoyed the non-stop action from the time Cassie is introduced to Truman and to when she finally unlocked the secret.Dru Ann Love, 2017 Raven Award Winner, Dru's Book Musings

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Cindy Blackburn writes cozy mysteries because she thinks grim reality is way overrated. When she’s not thinking up unlikely plot twists and ironing out the quirks and kinks of her lovable characters, Cindy is feeding her fat cat Betty or taking long walks with her cute hubby John. A native Vermonter who hates snow, Cindy divides her time between the south and the north. Most of the year you’ll find her in South Carolina. But come summer she’ll be on the porch of her lakeside shack in Vermont. Yep, it’s a place very similar to Lake Elizabeth. Cindy’s favorite TV show is The Big Bang Theory, her favorite movie is Moonstruck, and her favorite color is purple. Cindy dislikes vacuuming, traffic, and lima beans.

UNEXPECTED
A Cassie Baxter Mystery

Cindy Blackburn

Reviewed by Author Roy Murry

Cassie Baxter, a history professor, has become one of my favorite characters; and the people surrounding her are interesting as well. She, going through her normal work week and interactions, seems to come up with the answers to a mystery that no one else can see, including law enforcement.

In this case, someone is dead from a car accident near the lovely lakeside town in which she and her Si-Fi writer father live. Cassie receives an unusual task which presents problems. With much confusion, a child who has secrets as to what happened comes into her family’s care.

Blackburn’s writes into the core story secondary fun adventures produced by Cassie’s father and next door boyfriend neighbor that enhances the main mystery. They are enjoyable and move the characters and reader to determine who-done-it.

The writing is well thought out and easy-going, flowing along with few bumps in the road. You’ll laugh and like the tone that leads you to an explosive ending. Then all is calm for the Baxters plus two in Lake Elizabeth until a new mystery comes to a calling.

Cassie Baxter may be a professor, but she's not a kid person. So how could she be given a five-year old boy? A boy that she doesn't know, but has to be Aunt Cassie or Momma Cass as she later finds out. As it turns out Cassie is as much a kid person as she is a super sleuth. Finding a killer, helping her sci-fi writer dad with some plot twists, and trying to have a relationship are all in a day's work for our heroine. I hope there will be more books in this great series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just what you'd expect from Blackburn!
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2017

4.5 Aside from the obvious question of why someone Cassie didn't know listed her as next of kin, who murdered Truman's mother and why remained to be solved. At the same time, Cassie's father has to solve the plot problems of his sci fi story, and even Truman starts talking like the story is real. Cassie may be "looney tunes" but she has a heart of gold when it comes to this little boy.

This is the second in the Cassie Baxter series. Although a shift from Blackburn's Cue Ball mysteries, humor and a steady pace keep the story moving. The characters, including the goats, dog, and Truman's cat Notz, have unique and memorable personalities. And then there's the continuing story of Chance Dooley and his space ship, the Destiny. This is an enjoyable read and can be easily read as a stand alone story.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic sequel to "Unbelievable."

The word that best describes "Unexpected" by Cindy Blackburn is "delightful." The author takes us into two worlds: the "real" life of Vermont resident Cassie Baxter, who is determined to solve a murder, and the fictional world of her father's science fiction novel. The result is a book that will keep you turning the pages to see how things turn out in both worlds. A fantastic sequel to "Unbelievable."

I absolutely love this second book from Cindy Blackburn!! I loved the first book and have been waiting for another one about Cassie the Vermont Looney Tune!! It would be best if new readers would start with the first book so hat it would set the scene in Vermont. I would recommend these books to anyone who wants a good and funny book.

I gave this series 4 stars because I wish there were more in the series. There were some unanswered questions. The books were entertaining and funny and I loved the setting. Cindy Blackburn is a terrific story teller. I enjoyed the characters and especially the relationship with the main character and her dad. You won't be disappointed when you buy it.

A delightful follow up to the first book in the series, I particularly enjoyed the blending of the main plot and the sci fi story in the background. I'm looking forward to the next instalment in the series.
