A New Place Another Murder A Sheridan Hendley Mystery Book 1 edition by Christa Nardi Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks

This spin-off of Nardi’s Cold Creek mystery series has the newly-married Sheridan Hedley moving to Clover Leaf in Appomattox County and into her husband, Brett McMann’s three-bedroom condo. Things are going well for Sheridan, Brett, and his daughter, Maddie. Maddie’s in assorted camps to help her settle into her new digs before school starts, and Sheridan is volunteering at a local animal rescue, and looking for a job. She’s a little at loose ends, because she misses her old job at Cold Creek College, and she hasn’t been in town long enough to make any friends. Trouble seems to find her anyway, when Maddie and her new friend Alex are accused of stealing money from one of the camps. Then a body turns up and Alex is in even more trouble. He’s from the wrong side of the tracks, and the dead guy is connected to one of Clover Leaf’s oldest, richest families, so the police don’t appear to be too interested in finding other suspects. Maddie begs Sheridan to help uncover the truth. Brett, a state police officer, has to stay away because he’s out of his jurisdiction and Maddie is involved, so Sheridan is on her own.

I am occasionally reluctant to read an author’s new work in case I don’t like it as much as I do the previous series I am familiar with, but this spin-off didn’t let me down. Nardi brought along the characters I loved from Cold Creek (Sheridan, Brett, Maddie, and Charlie, Sheridan’s Sheltie) put them in new situations, bring new life to the characters. I also liked that Sheridan keeps in contact with former colleagues at Cold Creek College. This made Sheridan seem even more real to me.

This was a clean mystery – and by “clean,” I don’t mean boring, preachy, and relentlessly perky, I mean most of the violence occurs off screen, there’s no profanity, and no intimate details. I usually like some grit in my mysteries, but I didn’t miss that here. I particularly like how Sheridan treats Maddie, not like some bobble-headed teen, or as a threat to her new marriage, but with respect and affection. I also appreciate that Brett doesn’t poo-pooh Sheridan’s need to solve mysteries, but rather values her contributions to solving cases. And Sheridan doesn’t take stupid chances as in some mysteries, which is refreshing.

I hope there will be more adventures for Sheridan, Brett, Maddie, and Charlie.

A New Place Another Murder A Sheridan Hendley Mystery Book 1 edition by Christa Nardi Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews

This is a good read addressing the difficulties of moving to a new neighborhood with dogs and a teenager. Numerous and dangerous. Solving murders and mysteries makes the pair work together. For anyone enjoying mysteries.
"A New Place, Another Murder" is the first book in Christa Nardi's "Sheridan Hendley Mysteriess". Mardi wrote the Cold Creek series, and this book continues on with some of the characters from Cold Creek who move to Appomattox, Virginia where Lee's surrender to the North occurred. There is a bit of Civil War history within the story.

Sheridan is married to Brett who is with the State Police, and Brett has a daughter, Maddie, who is middle school age. Maddie attends a summer camp, and while there she and her friend are accused of theft and murder. The plot is pretty predictable, and the characters are a little flat. The book is short at 171 pages. It is a mildly enjoyable read, but don't look for a multi-layered or a complex story or a lot of subplots. I would like to read the first book in the Cold Creek series, but I'm not sure I'll continue with this one. There are some lovable dogs in the story.
As a reader of the Cold Creek mysteries, I was thrilled to find the start of the next series as Sheridan starts her new married life in a new location. This book is as enjoyable as the previous series. I suggest reading it before starting this one
This is a good cozy mystery. Sheridan Hendley is now married and has moved to a new town with her husband and his daughter. The daughter's best friend is accused of murder. While Sheridan looks for a new job and gets to know the people in the town, she does some sleuthing. She eventually figures out who the real killer is. This is a light read and a very good cozy mystery. I liked the main characters in this book, they feel real and act naturally. The only thing I didn't like about this book is the few references to mysteries that Sheridan solved before moving. This book does stand alone, but I am now going to have to get the earlier books and read them.
Dr. Sheridan Hendley has married her love, and become a new Mother to her husband's daughter. To make life easier, they moved into Brett's condo. The three are enjoying the new married life, when, one day, daughter Maddie comes home in distress.

It seems the young man in 'camp school' that has befriended Maddie, has been accused of stealing school money and Maddie, herself, is implicated. Sheridan takes quick steps with Brett to clear her new daughter's name. Not quick enough it appears as the bullying morphs into physical danger for the entire family of McCann's as well as the young friend's family.

This gentle cozy has some startling scenes written in. An excellent beginning to a new series.
