REVIEW:
The Pompadour Necklace, a short, cozy mystery by author Nupur Tustin, follows a young amateur detective as she investigates a suspected thief, hoping to recover a stolen necklace with an infamous past. Going by the alias Sophie Fisher, Sophie goes undercover to get close to the man she suspects has absconded with the famous Pompadour Necklace from heiress Jeanne Poisson.
While short, the story still contains all the elements for a good mystery: an intrepid and determined amateur sleuth, a suspicious and smarmy suspect, a naïve and innocent victim, and a missing family treasure. The writing was easy to read and immediately engaged me in Sophie’s mission. There is even a fun and interesting twist when all is revealed.
I recommend THE POMPADOUR NECKLACE to cozy mystery readers.

Sophie returns in an adventurous new investigation in the U.S.
Theft in Sleepy Hollow is the second book in author Nupur Tustin’s bite-sized cozy mystery series, Sophie’s Adventures, and it may even be better than the first. Sophie returns and teams up once again with Uncle Arthur (Detective Superintendent Ben Norris) to track down an art thief.
This time, the pair are in hot pursuit of who they believe is a serial art thief. I liked that Sophie was asked to participate in the investigation because she had done so well undercover in her first adventure, and this time, she is clearly a member of an investigative team with DS Norris. The author starts the story off in a somewhat lighter vein. Sophie is preparing for a Paris vacation with a gal pal, and her plans with Nicole are fun. I was drawn right into Sophie’s life, learning a little bit more about her in this second outing. Once again, the investigation is fast-paced, with enough changes in direction to keep it interesting.
I recommend THEFT IN SLEEPY HOLLOW to cozy mystery readers.

I’m so glad you enjoyed both books. I loved writing them. Believe it or not, Jessica Fletcher and the Murder, She Wrote Mysteries were the inspiration for Sophie and her adventures.
OH! I can see that now!
I also intrigued by your other series' blurbs so I'll be looking forward to those in the near future.
Thank you for doing this book tour and for stopping by the blog!
Thanks for hosting me and reviewing the books! I think you'll like the Celine Skye series--they're based on the Gardner Museum theft and include a dash of the paranormal.
