Funeral Crashing Mysteries #1-3

(This is for a series; Brief thoughts follow the 3 book descriptions and star ratings.)

Adventures in Funeral Crashing by Milda Harris
Published June 16, 2011

About the Book

Sixteen year old Kait Lenox has a reputation as the weird girl in her high school, mostly because of her ex-best friend turned mean popular girl, Ariel, but maybe it has a little to do with the fact that Kait has a hobby crashing funerals. At one of these, Kait is outted by the most popular guy in school, Ethan Ripley. Yet, instead of humiliating her for all the world to see, he asks for her help, and Kait finds herself entangled in a murder mystery. Not only is the thrill of the mystery exciting, but more importantly Ethan knows her name! A little sleuthing is well worth that!

Adventures in Murder Chasing by Milda Harris
Published September 14, 2013

About the Book

Kait Lenox is officially Ethan Ripley's girlfriend and she might even be kinda sorta becoming non enemies with her ex-bff Ariel Walker. Everything is going great! That is until Kait stumbles across another suspicious death at her favorite coffee shop, Wired. Not able to help herself, Kait sets out to investigate! 

Suddenly Kait's problems go from whether or not she should say the L-word to Ethan to fears that the murder she's investigating might not be murder at all. Should Kait follow her gut or is she just chasing murders?

Thoughts on the Series

I came across the first book in this series on a daily email I get that has free and inexpensive e-books that are available.  I pretty regularly download free or cheap e-books, but I often don't get around to reading them, as I really love and prefer real books.  I decided to read some of the e-books recently, though, and I started with this one.  I adored it, so I quickly bought the other two for really reasonable prices (like $2-3 each or so, the first was free).  The description I had read said the books were for fans of Nancy Drew and Veronica Mars, which intrigued me.  I feel like that was a great way to describe them, as Kait will certainly appeal to fans of those other teen sleuths.  These books a really cute, fun, easy reads, and they will keep you interested in finding out where the story will go.  I highly recommend them for anyone looking for cute, light reads.  They are great for tween readers of YA too, as there's nothing too inappropriate or anything in them.
