See all formats and editions

Chelsea is already in over her head before the dead body turns up…

When Chelsea Lawson's best friend Tilly asks her to stay at her place to watch her six-year-old daughter and pets, Chelsea doesn’t hesitate. Turns out she agreed to manage a micro-farm and "a few pets" included a cow and two goats as well as a little girl too smart for her own good.

When the local community tries to run her out of town, Chelsea realizes something big and rotten hides under the surface of the idyllic small town. The mayor makes it clear she's not wanted and the townspeople give her the cold shoulder, but that only makes Chelsea more determined to uncover their secrets.

No one expected the repercussions those secrets would have, or that murder would be the result. Now life, the animals, and the farm, hangs in the balance. Can Chelsea figure out who did the deed before she—and her new home—are the next victims?

Find out more in the first book of this cozy murder mystery series, the Chelsea Lawson Cozy Mysteries!

Hi, there! I'm CeeCee James, USA Today bestselling author who first started this writing world as a kid and continued on with bedtime stories for my own kids. I have a few mystery series --the Baker Street Mysteries, Angel Lake Cozy Mysteries, Flamingo Realty, Oceanside Hotel mysteries and more! I love creating new worlds and puzzling through cozy murder mysteries. My favorite sleuths are curious, kind, and a bit flawed. But they all learn that being flawed isn't being broken, and that's a life lesson I work on for myself.

My favorite cozy mysteries always have a dash of humor, maybe a tinge of romance, animals, and tons of friendship. There are always a few of my favorite pups, and a kitten or two. I love the small town feel with a hint of juicy gossip and friendly relationships that comes with it. I also love good food and my characters love it too! That's why a bunch of my mysteries include free recipes.

I have a few published in Large Print paperback and as audio books.

One of my favorite places to write is curled up this fat oversized chair I found on sale someplace, with a cup of coffee. Usually there are dogs sleeping by my feet, or in the chair with me where somehow they double in size to hog up all the space. :)

Writing has been a life long passion of mine. My first published work is nonfiction Ghost No More. Most of all I love writing about the celebration of life.

Chelsea Lawson is in town to babysit her best friends 6 year old while Tilly is in Australia for a photoshoot job.
Chelsea finds her job is not nearly as easy as she thought it would be. Emma is the precocious 6 year old that is too smart for Chelsa's good. Then there's the cow, two goats, bunny's, and a dog that refuses to listen to her.

With all of this going on, Chelsea finds a body in the barn, and the entire town seems intent on blaming her for his death, and seems to want her out of their town.

A fun story with developed characters, some humor, and mysteries from 20 years ago that have decided now is the time to be revisited.

She also learns her mom has some secrets that are about to come out.

Great! but left hangin’

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2020

I really enjoyed this story, though found myself frustrated with the ending or lack there of. There are better ways to write satisfying endings in series books while enticing readers to continue reading the series. I probably should have started with another one of her series. This being the first in her most current series means having to wait to continue and eventually to conclude the story. While some plot points were tied up, others were left “to be continued.” I wonder are all her series written like this? No wonder it was such a short book! I feel like I just watched a cliffhanger at the end of a television season. And book 2 isn’t out until the end of the month which at least is better than next year in TV land. Yet still Very frustrating!
But I don’t want to take away from the rest of the book. I did rate it 4 stories because I did enjoy everything else about it. I love Chelsea & Emma, the townspeople are interesting, and the animal stories funny. It was a page turner and an interesting mystery that almost became back burner at times. Strong female leads dominate in this series and I’m here for it. I’ll be reading the sequel as soon as it’s released!

This mystery kept me guessing to the very end.

There was a lot going on in this easy read mystery. At times I hated the town and was annoyed by the constant drama but it kept me interested. The murder mystery was only one of the ongoing mysteries in this book. Book 1 ends with a cliff hanger on the other mystery. I've already purchased the second book in the series.

What a fun new series with some great characters both human and animal

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2020

I really enjoyed this murder mystery that has another mystery inside it. Just a heads up that there is a small cliff hanger, but it's the type that I can live with, especially since the murder was solved. It's no different than some of the nighttime soaps I used to watch that always had a continuing personal story--and a seasonal cliffhanger that had to be waited on all summer. I'm super anxious to read the next book, but it comes out soon! Again, the main mystery is solved, don't let a little ongoing story keep you from enjoying this book.

Good Beginning

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2020

Good beginning to a series that hits all the right buttons for a good cozy mystery - farm animals, a dog, a cute kid and a couple of potential love interests. I would have liked a better explanation of why the money was still in the car after 20 years. Chelsea has an intriguing history and, although she seems a bit immature, hopefully will work through her anxieties in future episodes. Since this is just Book 1, there are a lot of unanswered questions. There are also a lot of interesting secondary characters who may have stories of their own.

Funny Mystery!

It was a fun book to read. I could laugh half way through it. Definitely cozy mystery. Clean. Not even a hint of romance. She went for the simple job of staying with her friends child. HaHa. That was not the whole story.

This was a fun book to read. It was a cozy. Cozy mystery? yes. Friend went to take care of her friend's child that week. Do you think that was easy? Definitely not. The adult had many new things to learn, see and do. This book brought me many moments of laughter.

Another Great cozy by Janes

CeeCee James. I've read all of her books in every series. When I found out she started another series, I HAD to read it. I expected it to be great and I wasn't disappointed!
Chelsea is asked to watch her best friend's daughter while her bff is at a one in a lifetime photo shoot. Little did she expect that in addition to babysitting and taking care of the farm, she would be trying to solve a murder too.
Great fast moving new series that will leave you guessing until the end. I can't wait to see what awaits Chelsea in the next book!

Love CeeCee James work and this one is no different. A mystery within a mystery. So many questions still to be answered. A city girl house sits on a hobby farm for a week and solves a 20 yr old mystery but it only leaves more questions. Roll on book #2 I need to know who Denise and Nikki are.

Moved to Murder introduces Chelsea - a woman haunted by passed events in her own life only to become involved in a murder mystery in her own backyard or in this case in the barn!
Chelsea solves not only a murder but also a 20 year old bank robbery gone wrong . In doing so she discovers that she is the spitting image of the bank teller who was killed in the robbery.
This is only the beginning of new personal mysteries that make the reader want to continue reading about Chelsea’s adventures in the next novel.
This is an interesting mystery within a mystery which creates a very personal mystery. Have fun reading this book it will be difficult to put it down!

Okay

The plot in this book was a good one, the future personal mystery set up for the next book looks intriguing. The characters are well described and although it’s a shorter story we’re written so well as to be believable, have depth and humour and hook you into wanting to read more of them.
The downfall of why I’ve given the book only three stars is to do with the bad proof reading and editing, honestly if a bit of time and expertise had been given in this area the book would have been so much better to read. As it was this area ruined the flow and pace of the story.

For city girl , Chelsea, farm life proves challenging especially when Emma finds a dead man in the barn and Jasper, the dog, finds an abandoned car full of money in the woods.

I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the next one in the series.
