Mystery Magnet is the first in a Ashe's cozy mystery series. Dash is a mystery writer who moves across the country for a fresh start and new job after breaking up with his long time boyfriend. His first night he becomes the suspect in a murder case, and along with his new friends he must prove his innocence. Or at least, try? 

Okay this was super cute and fun. I absolutely love Dash and I'm pretty sure he's my spirit animal. He's a little lost and trying to find himself, but that's what this new phase of his life is for. The whole Last Picks group are already growing on me with their shenanigans (I feel like I'll be using that word a lot with them). They are eclectic and seem like the kind of people you want on your side. Plus I'm looking forward to seeing how things go with no nonsense Deputy Bobby and our sweet Dash. 

As the first book this was a good introduction to Dash & Co. and the little seaside town of Hastings Rock. It was a nice, easy read with a lot of fun moments but also some intrigue with the crime. Definitely different from Ashe's heavier stuff, but no less entertaining.
