I enjoyed this book. There are some things that are very common in cozies these days that get a bit tiresome for me. You see, I'm a happily married man who has been with his amazing wife for 38 years. So why do so many cozies feature divorced women who escaped from lunatic, control-freak beasts of ex-husbands? Yeah, that happens, but not all the time! (I also wonder why so many of these books happen in the South.)

So what about THIS book? It's a good one. The main character is not perfect, but she's interesting. She also does not do anything at the end to put herself in jeopardy while the reader thinks to him/herself, "Oh, come on! No one would do that."

Her talent of finding things is played just right. It isn't the focus of the book and it is just part of her identity. It's natural.

It also has a lot of interesting things that are fun to look forward to in the next book, while still leaving you satisfied at the end of this one.

Nicely done, Lavenes.
