There's a Valentine's Day killer on the loose ...

Poppy Starfire is excited to be spending the morning at an estate sale with her best friend, Birdie. Their adventure entails a trip on the Angels Flight trolley, the shortest cable car ride in the world but a necessity for traveling up to Los Angeles's famous Bunker Hill. Their highly anticipated morning goes awry when a woman keels over dead on the trolley. The police are quick to write the woman's death off as an accident but Poppy's not so sure.

When the dead woman's sister asks Poppy to find out the real cause of her sister's untimely death, Poppy and Jasper find themselves in the middle of a case that has little evidence and even less possible suspects. After a second victim turns up, they try to connect the dots, but the dots are few and far between. When the mad killer strikes closer to home, Poppy and Jasper realize they need a plan and fast.

Wow on to book 4 and still can't choose a favorite character yet. I absolutely love each character and this story may have just cured me of eating boxed chocolate for life. It was that convincing. Enjoy, I know I did!

5.0 out of 5 stars Starfire Cozy Mystery Book 3...A Great Cozy mystery!
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2020
I really enjoyed this new Starfire cozy mystery by London Lovett. I love the cover to begin with, and I intend to go ride the Angels Flight Trolley as I live near Los Angeles! As with all of her books, I couldn't wait to read it, and when I am finished, I always look forward to another cozy mystery, whether its a Starfire mystery or a new book in one of her two other cozy mystery series, Firefly Junction, or Port Danby!
In this book Poppy Starfire, owner and head detective of the Starfire Detective agency, (started by her Uncle Sherman, and handed down to Poppy when he retired) along with her brother Jasper are thinking about Valentines Day.
Poppy and her best friend Birdie, who works for a design house, have decided to go to an estate sale. They decide to take the Angel's Flight trolley to go to the sale. On the way other passengers prove a distraction, particularly one beautiful woman named Sonya, and her sister Meredith who are also going to the estate sale.
On the way back, and on the trolley, Sonya pulls out a bonbon from a box of chocolates she has received early for Valentines Day and offers her sister one, who declines. A few minutes after she eats the bonbon and takes a sip of water from a flask (usually used for alcohol), she doubles over and before the trolley arrives to their destination falls off of the seat and dies.
Meredith is hysterical and Poppy leans on the floor with her to try to comfort her. The police come and take Sonya to the hospital where she is pronounced dead. Poppy and Birdy take Meredith over to a shop to get her tea, while the police do their investigation. When they are through, Poppy slips her card in Meredith's hand and told her to call if she needs anything.
Before all of this happened, Birdy's bracelet broke so she needs to get it fixed which she does. A day or two later Meredith shows up at the detective agency. Meredith is upset because the police wrote off Sonya's death as being alcohol related and Meredith insists that Sonya never drank and it was just water in her flask. The police don't keep any evidence from the occurrence.
A few days later another woman dies from eating a chocolate bonbon as well! Poppy is now convinced the deaths are related, because both women got the chocolates from an anonymous person delivered to their mailbox!
When there is another box of chocolates delivered to Birdy, and Poppy knocks the bonbon out of her hand before she can eat it, Poppy knows she has to find out how all these deaths are related! Poppy is desperate to find out the connection between all of these events.
This book is really good because there are a lot of well developed characters we have gotten to know from the previous books, and so reading this is like living in it and getting to keep up with true to life characters and of course Antony and Cleopatra, Poppy's two cats!
There is a lot of mental, romantic and nervous angst in this book and I couldn't put it down until I was finished. The book is well written and I can't wait for the next one. Although this book can be read as a standalone, I suggest reading Murder on Lot B (Starfire Cozy Mystery Book 1), and Murder at the Ostrich Farm (Starfire Cozy Mystery Book 2). I always like to read books in a series in order as I can keep up with the wonderful characters in them.
I gave this book 5 cozy stars and look forward to the next Starfire Mystery book. There are two other cozy series London Lovett writes and I recommend them as well:

Port Danby Cozy Mystery Series and
The Firefly Junction Series

You will be glad you read them and they are all wonderful reads!

This is the third in the Starfire mystery series and I have to say I am still thoroughly enjoying these books. Poppy is a delightful character to follow around as she solves another mystery. These are easy fun books to read and I can see myself continuing on in the series.

What’s not to like about this? The sleuths have a great dynamic and the supporting characters are fun additions. Pair that up with a smartly plotted murder with many curveballs and you have yourself a great time!

Poppy and her friend are on a cable car ride when one of the passengers keels over and dies. Police think it is just an accidental death but Poppy does not think so. The woman's sister asks Poppy and her brother Jasper to investigate. Then a further body turns up and thinks start to get interesting.
