~Disclaimer: I received a free audiobook copy of this book.~
I always like the MCs in cozy mysteries to have a reason to get involved. In this case she comes across the murder scene, but other than that it is just because moments after meeting the detective she decides she HAS to solve it. Just some sense she has. This is not a good reason. This just makes me think our MC is acting foolishly. So, not the best start.
Our MC is sympathetic and generally interesting…. if lacking in self esteem and at times careless.
I do feel like this is a mystery where you can follow along with the MCs logic in solving the crime. The dogs in the story are cute. It does hit all the typical cozy mystery beats, but if you are fans of the sub-genre I don’t think that is a negative.
Karen Commins does an excellent job narrating. If you like the sample you should have no complaints.
I won’t be continuing the series as it doesn’t hit my preferred beats.
