Who can resist a book that has a cute dog on the cover? I know I can’t! I did end up having a very nice time with this story. It was a fun little cozy and I appreciated the fact that the cute dog on the cover had a strong presence throughout the story. I am so glad that the corgi on the cover got my attention because I really did enjoy this story.
Winifred, or Fred, has just moved to town along with her corgi, Watson. She has had a few problems in her life recently and is looking forward to starting over by opening a bookshop in town. Her mother and step-father live in town and actually own the building that she plans to open her bookshop in. When she introduces herself to the store owner next door, she doesn’t get the reaction that she hopes for. That is just the start of her trouble since she will soon find a body inside the building she plans to open her store in.
I thought that the mystery in this cozy was very well done. I had no idea who the culprit was and I had a great time going along with Fred and Watson as they met the other shopowners. The story went in a couple of directions that I didn’t see coming which added to the appeal. I loved the small-town setting and quirky characters. Fred and Watson made a great team!
This was the first time that I have had the chance to listen to Angie Hickman’s narration and I was impressed. She did a great job with all of the character’s voices and was able to bring the story to life. She used a very pleasant voice and I thought that the pacing was very well done. I would definitely listen to her narration work again in the future.
I would recommend this book to others. This was a fun little cozy that was able to keep me guessing. I definitely plan to read more this series very soon.
I received a review copy of this audiobook from the author/narrator via Audiobook Boom and have voluntarily left this review.
