Enjoyed, light and easy t read. Kept me interested
Too much mommy stuff.
Probably an ok cozy mystery for women in the life stage of birthing children, which is not me.
Cozy mystery
Was a bit disjointed and not realistic.
This was a page turner for me. The anxiety was so well depicted that I was nervous for the protagonist on several occasions.
fun but unrealistic
I loved it! In fact I ordered all five of the books in the series. I am halfway through book two at the moment, it’s the same, but a different case. Read this series!
I really enjoyed this book – Kate’s reactions to first-time motherhood brought back lots of memories. She is a great character!
Real characters. Kept my attention
I htought it was a nice book, quick read, but kept my interest. The characters were a bit quirky and at sometimes unrealistic.
While enjoyable, I found it difficult to picture a woman running all over San Francisco trying to solve murders while recuperating from childbirth, all the while toting the baby around with her.
I admit to the amount of new baby crisis wearing down the amount of character and plot development. Also a little unbelievable that a new mother could immediately focus to the extent the protagonist does.
Very good, a few too many characters, but interesting throughout.
Light, enjoyable reading.
I enjoyed being entertained by this book. You had no idea what would happen next!
Good read and funny.
This was a delight to read. I was sorry to see it end. I look forward to more books.
Kind of silly. Not realistic
Loved it.
