PEACE AND QUIET CAN BE MURDER!Fiona Fleming had hoped inheriting her grandmother’s bed and breakfast and returning home to quiet Reading, VT would be a welcome escape from the city life in New York and her cheating ex-boyfriend. She figured the most excitement she’d face would be making beds, pesky customers and the awful stench coming from her grandmother’s ornery pug, Petunia. Instead, she … Instead, she finds herself elbow-deep in clogged toilets, the town blackmailer floating belly-up in her fish pond and she’s the prime suspect.
She’s soon looking for answers in the seedy-side of the tiny town and winds up in dangers she never even faced in the city. While she is surrounded with help from the odd cast of characters in this bizarre town, she’s not sure who she can trust. Her back-up, however, consists of her flighty yet fashionable childhood friend, her grandmothers nosy neighbor and her beloved father who seems to have secrets of his own. Then there’s the buried treasure she can’t figure out and how to get her mind off of how great the new sheriff’s backside looks in his uniform.
Can Fiona uncover the truth before the handsome sheriff puts her behind bars instead of asking her out?

What a fun read. Fee is so much fun. After reading the first book, I bought the other 7 books in the series!
Ok. A bit too slow. I did read all of it, it was that good.
The story was too jumpy with a stupid main character. The editing was poor. Many missing words throughout.
Strange sentence structure makes reading slow and cumbersome.
A light, amusing mystery for a quick read and some enjoyable diversion.
This was a great story with an unpredictable ending. You won’t see it coming.
Easy quick read. Fun characters.
This was a cute story and although the characters were not developed each role added to the story. References to the dog were overdone. The most annoying thing was the lack of complete sentences and poor punctuation. I had to reread multiple passages to get the gist. It is bothersome to have a poorly written story and for that reason I will not continue with the series.
Fun filled couple of hours, good laughs.
Very fun easy read.
Easy to read and lightly entertaining.
Entertaining, also intriguing characters
Little confusing the way it was written. Many crazy characters. Sometimes it was funny. Not a bad book.
I really enjoyed this book. It was entertaining and fun to read. Decent story and well written characters.
Excellent. A really good read.
Loved the side comments…. Can certainly relate to them. Interesting to see the relationships develop.
Charming and entertaining !!
Loved it!
Patti writes just a bit differently than many writers and her style is really refreshing. I plan on reading her whole series… enjoyed this book very much. A fast reader that really holds your attention… and I love a surprise ending!
This was a fun read.
