This book is #2 in the Just add coffee series and can be read as a stand alone. Samantha owns the local coffee shop and has solved some crimes in the past. When someone starts sending naughty pictures of their cats to owners the town is shocked and in an uproar. The police think it’s funny until one of the owners is found murdered. Is the photographer a murder or did he just open the can of worms. A nice cozy for cat lovers.

I think that the plot is a bit over the top as I would more worried about people breaking and entering than any hot pic of my three cats. BTW they're all neutered so it would not be so hot.
People get very angry in this story and I had to suspend my belief
Plus I wasn't a huge fan of Samantha as I found her a bit too supermodel-like.
There's fun, there's a good plot but I recommend it you are a fan of this series
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I thought this was a cute although strange book . Book 2 of the Just Add Coffee Mysteries has someone talking naughty pictures of people’s cats,, but who would would want to murder over it . Samantha Powell and her friend sets out to solve the murder.

The book is quick and often funny read , as a cat owner or I should say someone who is owned by cats I found myself laughing out loud .

I just reviewed JUNKED by Ruth Bainbridge. #JUNKED #NetGalley

Quirky. Zany antics. Yes some parts are like slapstick comedy buy hey don't we need some laughter right now. Naughty cat pictures and murder! Who would have thought! If your in the mood for some fun with your dose of murder then here is the read for you. I had a blast! Thanks #Netgalley and #RuthBainbridge for the eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.

The story is ok but some of the subject matter is a bit odd, people being sent pictures of their cats' junk (this do lead to a murder and someone being falsely accused, so there is more to it). I also find the personality of some of the lead characters to be like middle school age with the hormones of high schoolers. That, and baby talk to their cats was just a bit too much for me.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

I thought this was a very humorous book in the Just Add Coffee series by Ruth Bainbridge. I know a few people who are as concerned about everything about their kitties. So, all in all, a fun book of break in's and kitty pictures. Fun, fun, fun.

I also liked the characters. I think we all know someone like the main character.

The over-the-top style of the main character made it somewhat hard for me to get through this book. Everything was either the best event of her life or the worst. There was also a bunch of repetitive statements that made me want to skip parts of paragraphs after a while.

However, the storyline was moderately engaging and I did enjoy the detective work, so I'm giving it 3 stars.

Book 2 in the series, and did like this one a bit more than book 1. While Sam and her BF still argue and bicker like teenagers, I just skim over those parts. Do like the banter with Noah and Sam, and expect a romance is slowly building. This one had a couple of crossing story-lines of naughty cat pictures, and murder, and adultery. Also had a cat psychologist (is there such a thing?) who came in to offer help for the cats. Fun story overall, and would recommend.

"Junk" by Ruth Bainbridge is wow the drama. I didn't know people got this worked up about their cats. I would think most people would just be oh cute, but who broke into my house to get this picture. Not WHOA! Cat smut! oh and someone broke into my house to get this picture. Also, all the skievie guys in this one is a bit over the top. Not all men are that way. I know there's a couple that don't get the full dirt bag description but more do then don't. I personally had a hard time getting through this one with the contestant drama and over the top behaviors of the main character, but I know some do like this and will enjoy the book. It certainly had it's funny moments, at least I hope they were meant as funny moments.
