This was such a funny cozy! Michael, Ellie and Olivia have the greatest sense of humor and the offbeat jokes and one liners are too much! The bad guys were just everywhere and one was going after the other, it was crazy! Lots of fun and I recommend reading this one.

Michael is an absolute hoot with his terrible one liners and finding a dead body in his backyard doesn’t help him while he is trying to be accepted into his new home town of Lana Cover where the townsfolk are fun and quirky and don’t like outsiders. When things start to go from bad to worse he decides he needs to find out whats going on so with the help of his good friends Ellie and Olivia who run a cafe that I very much want to visit they work together to solve the mystery. It was great how Ellie and Olivia are in the know of people who can help them solve some mysteries as well as how you slowly get to know them all as thee mystery is unraveled. There are some good laughs, twists and surprises in this great read.

Michael West is a mess after his divorce. He quit his job to start fresh as a writer, however, finding a body in his back yard gives him first hand experience as a prime suspect. Michael is an enjoyable character, tempered by his friends Olivia and Ellie. I would certainly read this series further.
