4 stars This is a fun cozy mystery book with a touch of romance. It has quirky characters and makes murder seem not only common place, but also not too much of a big deal. Obviously, a cozy mystery is not going to focus too much attention on the murdery aspect of the story, but I was surprised by the body count. One of the characters had a line that I’m hoping to remember for use in my own life: “You’ve got a face like a wet weekend.” There was one scene in the book that I found difficult to follow and I think it probably needed to be worded better. Lenny pulled out a box of chocolates and everyone was eating them. Beth asked Maggie if she could give the dog a doggy biscuit. Maggie said okay, but just one. Then Beth reached for the box of chocolates and chose a coconut-covered truffle. I think it’s common knowledge that chocolate is toxic to dogs, but the way this was worded had me thinking the poor dog was about to get very sick. It didn’t say that she gave the truffle to the dog, but it didn’t say she gave the biscuit to him either. The fact that she reached for a chocolate after getting permission to give him a biscuit was odd. Overall, I enjoyed the book. February 22, 2021
