Unable to resist her curiosity, she falls directly into a mess of trouble and runs head-first into the attractive detective inspector, Teo Herceg. She tries to balance her business with the investigation, but as the killer focuses on her, staying alive becomes trickier than advanced origami.
Will Motts survive the onslaught of murderously bad luck?
Can she solve the mystery before it all spins out of control and off a cliff?

Entertaining
I was intrigued when I read the blurb for this book and as I enjoy cozy mysteries and Dahlia Donovan is a new author to me, I could not wait to dive in.
Our heroine is Pineapple “Motts” Mottley (I just love the name) who is close to forty, autistic and asexual and I fell for her hard and fast. Motts is quirky and awkward and honestly I liked her. Having moved to Cornwall to escape the rat race, the last thing she expects to find is a dead body in her garden.
Determined to investigate she butts heads initially with the detective inspector in charge of the case, Teo Herceg. She is such a unique character, she talks to her pets, a Sphinx cat, Cactus, and her turtle, Moss which made for some humorous moments.
This was a a book filled with secrets and enough clues to indulge my detective spirit. The intrigue and suspense kept me on riveted as I listened to this story.
