Customer Reviews
Great story, charming read.
There are some formatting errors in this book which frequently made it hard to keep track of which character was speaking. But, those can easily be fixed... and brushed off by the reader. I gave this 4 stars for charm, wit, heart, and depth of character development. The “love” angle of the mystery blew me away with its sweetness. Thanks to the author for this thoroughly entertaining cozy mystery.
Thoroughly enjoyed storyline and writing style.
Wonderful small town bonding. Writer upbeat and just plain fun.

Cute little story. I think Kandi made it interesting by being funny; kind & caring. If only we all could live in a neighborhood such as this where neighbors looked out for each other. Jan.23 2023 camie12
