A neat little mystery with just enough to keep you hooked. Good character development and you never see "who dunit" until the very end which is great.

My only "complaint' with this book was that it leans towards more of a Christian murder mystery with a lot of references to praying/the Lord etc. which for me was a turn off.

Its a quirky, cozy mystery with a heroine that has just the funniest sense of dry humor she brings into her brand-new PI profession.

From the first chapter I knew Cate would be a blast to spend the next three hundred pages with. She brings a personality to the page that kept me reading just for the sake of hearing some quip she would come up with next.

I wish there had been more dialogue. Much of the novel was through the thought process of Cate, and her humor kept moving it forward, but a bit more dialogue I think would have given the book pop that it needed.

Quirky is definitely a word to describe this novel! Quirky cast of characters, quirky plot, even a quirky pet. The novel isnt one for the fans of Die Hard, who like their murders grisly and dark, but for me, this cozy mystery had enough mystery combined with cozy main characters to make the story worth the read.

I loved the chemistry between Mark and Cate. Oo, wonder what is coming up next for these two. The ending certainly went out with a bang and I was given enough suspects, I actually didnt figure out who did it.

Its cute, quirky weekend mystery read, with enough elements to keep you wondering what will come around next.

This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers for my copy to review.
