Nina Audette (tealfroglette) - reviewed on 3/12/2010 + 17 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

This book is not a cozy per terms of language, sexual content, etc.
Editor fell asleep and let two inconsistencies remain. One is Dixie walking a dog she is pet sitting, yet she 'parks' behind a vehicle once she arrives and walks to a car window. Parks what?
There are words that appear to be thrown into the story to garner it PG-13 or R rating as if it were a movie trying to appeal to a wider audience. I saw no good reason to drop in a description of her deli lunch pickle, nor the way the AC cooled her down earlier. It felt like someone said, you must add this, it'll spice it up. It did not. Or someone edited out bunches of that, in which case, I'm even less impressed.
The cat information seemed like little helpful tips, and the story did appear to be about a woman finally coming to terms with the loss of her husband and daughter in a positive way.
I was not impressed overall and would not spend a PBS credit to get another book by this author.
