I wasn't feeling well and I wanted something lightweight. I tried to stomp on any twitch of logical thinking; I honestly don't know why I am so critical of cozies when I can accept all sorts of bizarre things in any other genre. Mary is mostly an appealing character - the retired person who throws themselves into community work and seems to be involved in everything. I've heard characters who are too good to be true called "Mary Sue" and Mary is that. But I liked the characters, especially the kids, I liked the setting. I thought up good reasons why there should be so many dog breeders in such a small town, but the police force...they really need to learn how to ask questions. It's leisurely-paced, it's got cute dogs, and the bad guys get caught. The kids get a puppy! Mary, who has never owned a pet (there are such people??) gets a dog and is happy. So I was happy.
