Best praise it can get, I enjoyed it so much that I immediately ordered the second book in the series!! Thanks Leighann Dobbs for your hard work and keep it up.

Cozy mysteries might be my new thing.
This was a great read! It was interesting, well written, and fast. I’ve been looking for a way to get out a months long reading slump and cozy mysteries are going to be my go-to from now on. I loved the bookstore element and all the cats! If I someday find myself in my mid-forties and divorced, I might end up …
Simply entertaining.
After a long week at the day job, it’s so nice to curl up with a lighthearted, funny mystery. This one fit the bill. Also, it helps to be a cat lover, which I am.
