': Cat's Review of Drama Oz (A Nicky and Noah Mystery) by Joe Cosentino @TTCBooksandmore @JoeCosen

The Treemeadow College theatre crew stage an original musical adaptation of The Wizard of Oz, entitled Friends of Dorothy, at a summer theme park in Key West. Quickly cast and crew members melt away like a witch submerged in water. Nicky, as the Wizard on stage and off, must save the show and figure out whodunit. Once again, our favorite thespians will need to use their drama skills to catch the killer before a witch’s fireball sends them up in smoke. You will be applauding and shouting Bravo for Joe Cosentino’s fast-paced, side-splittingly funny, edge-of-your-seat entertaining fourteenth novel in this delightful series. It’s a scorcher! So follow the yellow brick road. The stage lights are coming up in Oz on a girl with a dog who is one hot bitch, a wicked witch who would kill for a new pair of shoes, a sexy Wizard, a Scarecrow sitting on a big pole, a Tinman with a giant can of lube, a Lion with a long tail between his legs, plenty of monkey business, and murder!

Cat gives this book 5 Meows with a 2 purr heat index...

This is book 14 in the Nicky and Noah Mysteries. You can read these as stand alone, but it’s best to read in order to get the full enjoyment as there are many recurrent characters.

Nicky and Noah wanted a family vacation so they got a job in Florida at OZ theme park. They are putting on a production of Friends of Dorothy. If you’ve read any of these books you know there is always a mystery as bodies start dropping, there is lots of humor and the live between Nicky and Noah is sweet and endearing. All the characters are fun and the mystery is fun to try to solve.

If you like a lighthearted romance, with a mystery, charm, loveable characters and a happy ending this is for you.
