Cozy mystery featuring a newly divorced mom of adult children and her talented rescue dog. They have relocated to a new, small town in the Texas Hill country where they have discovered a body in their back yard upon theur arrival. Soon, our protagonist is meeting all sorts of neighbors, flirting and being flirted with by the sheriff and helping figure out who is responsible for all the missing cats in the neighborhood as well as who killed the man from next door. First in a series. I will continue when in the mood for a light read.

This book drug on too long. It was a bit ambitious in scope, in my opinion. There were at least three seperate but related situations dealt with. Just when you thought that one was put away, it led to an offshoot and so on. I appreciate what the author tried to do, but in the end it was just above average for me. I will read the next in the series to see how I feel. I am uncertain how many books will actually be in this one.

This did nothing for me. I thought it would never in. Probably should have DNF it but I stubbornly read on. The whole thing seemed improbable to me. I just didn’t believe a minute of it. I didn’t find our protagonist loveable at all which I think for these cozy mysteries you need to have.

It has been decades since I read this book originally. From that perspective, as well as the perspective of a reader of many, many books can I just gush over what a talent Mrs. Christie was. I mean we have a ton of characters, many with quite developed back stories, we have a mysterious murder, many, many suspects, bits of romance, clever dialog between characters, twists and turns and in the end all tidied up for us is a satisfying way. Having read a lot, I know that is not always easy to pull off.

This was a new to me author. It was ok. It was certainly mysterious, I enjoyed the multiple POV writing and and there were certainly unexpected twists and turns. Still it left me unsatisfied. Also, I don’t understand the relevance of the title.
