I received this book for free. I am voluntarily posting this review and all opinions expressed herein are my own.
Let’s start with the cover – how cute is that face? Absolutely adorable cover.
Fred is a likeable smart woman who is starting anew with a bookshop in her stepfather’s building (a former taxidermy shop) when she finds the body of her surly neighbor in her bookshop’s kitchen and the prime suspect is her stepfather. Fred tries to help by investigating the murder.
What a fun cozy! I love the quirky characters – from Winifred’s (Fred) parents – tie dye and flamingo loving – to the rest of the town. The mystery is a good one with a major red herring – I figured it out at the same time as Fred.
The narrator, Angie Hickman, was delightful. She has a light, pleasant voice which was very easy to listen to and she did various voices for the various characters. A real compliment to the written word.
