I enjoyed it very much!
I loved it and am planning to read the rest of this author’s books. I read this type of book for basic relaxation and this one was perfect. It’s nicely written.
Language was awful
Did not hold my interest.
Enjoyed
genuine pleasure to read…
Didn’t care for it. I didn’t like the characters
It was okay. I will probably read the next in the series to see if they get better.
Keeps you guessing.
Great insite to what being a new mother is really like with humor & adventure.
The whole series was very good cozy mystery books. Looking to the next in the series.
Good charterization. Interesting plot. Includes “mature” persons I look forward to more by this author.
Didn’t finish reading it. It didn’t hold my attention
Maybe if you just had a baby, it might seem more interesting but can’t imagine a new mom of just a few weeks trying to do what she is trying to do. She also does such stupid things that get her and her husband into so much trouble.
I love the author and the characters. What a great way to end the day, unwinding with this book!
Katie and husband Jim Just had a baby. the body pulled from the bay may be Jim’s brother. Can Katie solve the mysteries and still not miss breastfeeding times?
First in the series.
Great book gonna read the other books to see what happens with each next
A light read.
The book was easy to read with very real like able characters. I enjoyed reading it and will read more by the same author.
Fun read
