Blurb:
For mall cop E.J. Ferris, catching customers who “forgot to pay” is quite a change of pace from her former life in the military. But when a real crisis heats up her climate-controlled domain, her old instincts come back quicker than last year’s skinny jeans.On good days, Fernglen Galleria is a tranquil haven of capitalist splendor—but today is not one of those days. Arriving for her morning shift, E.J. spots a sleeping homeless person outside the east entrance. But the teenage boy turns out to be neither homeless nor asleep.

Uncovering a deadly conspiracy right in her own mall, E.J is about to catch a killer, or get put on lay-away for good…

My Review

I received a free copy from Tantor Audio and voluntarily reviewed it.

All Sales Fatal is the second book in this cozy mystery series featuring mall cop E.J. Ferris. I really enjoyed the first book and was excited for this second book. I again had a great time listening to this one. The mystery kept me guessing and I enjoyed following E.J. as she tried to solve the mystery.

I like the mall setting this series has. The mall feels a bit like the small town, but still has a different and unique vibe compared to a lot of cozies, which I liked. E.J. is a mall cop and finds another body in this book and gets involved in solving the mystery. I thought it made sense why she got involved and found her a realistic and interesting character. I liked getting to know a bit more about her and the other characters in this sequel. There are some interesting side characters in her best friend, her grandfather and co-worker Joel.

The mystery was a good one for me and kept me guessing. I liked seeing the plot develop and the mystery play out. I wasn’t quite sure who had done it and there were a few nice twists and reveals toward the end. I liked how E.J. is the one to solve the mystery and figure it out. I always like it when the main character solves the mystery. I appreciated how it all made sense and everything fell on it’s place when the murderer confesses.

I liked listening to this one and the narrator again was great to listen to with enough variety in voices.

To summarize: I enjoyed this sequel following map cop E.J. again as she solves another mystery. The mystery was a good one that kept me guessing with some interesting twists and reveals. I liked reading about E.J. and how she investigates the mystery, I think she’s a realistic and interesting character. There are some interesting side characters as well. I like the mall setting and how it feels different from most cozies.
