After finding a corpse hidden in a snowman, Stormy is determined to find the culprit — with the help of a mischievous feline named Jeffrey. With nonstop twists and turns, this clever tale is a must-read!First in series!When the daughter of a cop finds a body next door, she’s the only one who can solve the strange mystery. Stormy Day has moved back home, and it’s not for the local coffee or … and it’s not for the local coffee or nightlife, both of which are lacking in Misty Falls, Oregon. She’s there to help her father finally retire from being a cop, and slow the heck down after his hip replacement. Plus she needs to give her brain a break from the high-stakes world of venture capital.
But when she makes a shocking discovery next door, Stormy’s clever brain kicks into overdrive. This murder is too difficult for the local boys in blue to figure out. The new captain of the police department tells her to mind her own business, but he doesn’t take his own advice. He’s always breathing down her neck like a jealous ex-boyfriend (which he is).
What’s there to be jealous of? Stormy’s not even dating anyone. She’s certainly not going to date the ruggedly handsome, bearded lawyer who’s renting half her house. No way. Every time she sees Mr. Logan Sanderson, the town’s newest resident, he’s insulting her one way or another. The man should show his landlady a little more respect! He’s the worst. Sort of. It would be easier to hate him if he weren’t so cute underneath that bushy beard.
Now there’s a murder to solve, and since the legendary Finnegan Day is recovering from surgery, it’s up to his determined daughter Stormy to save the town from a twisted killer. If she fails to solve this twisted puzzle in time, someone close to her will pay a terrible cost.

The “witchy” thing was pretty much under the surface which greatly enhanced the readability. A good book, easy-to-read and perfect for a long, leisurely afternoon.
While I figured out who dunnit quite early on, I still enjoyed it due to the main character’s personality and voice.
A charming book with a twist.
This book is not an action-packed thriller but, instead, is a cozy little mystery that makes for a quick satisfying read. It’s sometimes nice to have an easy read without having to keep up with plot twists and multiple characters. No car chases, no gun fights, no bad language, no explicit sex, no blood and gore–refreshing!
Fun!
I didn’t see that end coming. I read every line just to get a clue. Author kept me in the chase until everything was recapped with Rookie Wiggles. Even though I’m a dog lover, Mr. Jeffrey Blue is the perfect side -kick.
Wonderful read. Delightful characters and funny
Awesome series
I enjoyed reading this book from the beginning to the end
This book was fantastic – the characters were fun and believable, the story had me hooked from the opening scene and I absolutely loved Jeffrey! The story kept a good pace, so the reader doesn’t lose interest, and I had no idea whodunit right up to the reveal! Thoroughly enjoyed this book and I would definitely read more by this author.
