Customer Reviews
A treat for dog lovers
I have grand-dogs and there was so much dialogue and action that is exactly what my daughter does with her dogs. It made me smile. Thanks for that.
I like this group of talented independent women that support each other so fully. There was a good plot with modern bad guys, believable interaction between the characters, and a very cute doggie sidekick. What’s not to like??
Murder in Half Moon Bay
I really wanted to like this book but I couldn't. There were too many unnecessary details that made the book painful to read.
As other readers mentioned, it was too unbelievable that law enforcement would allow a garden club to freely investigate a murder. I can suspend some belief but it got a little ridiculous.
The storyline was difficult to follow too. In one paragraph Jillian was on the bus & the next she was holding her dog in her room. Transitions were not obvious.
It was a bit unnerving to have Ted, her dog, "speaking" throughout the entire book. I really didn't need to know his thoughts all the time.
The idea behind the book was enough to keep me reading (I had to know who dunnit.), but I really can't recommend it.
Murder in Half Moon Bay
It was an okay read. It had a lot of characters which was somewhat hard to keep up with.
