I keep seeing this book on people's blogs. It must be a sign that I should read it, too. ;D

I've seen this at the library! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've never actually read a cozy mystery before (I'm not a huge fan of mysteries in general) but I've got a copy of The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie that I'll read before too long. I fully expect to never figure out whodunit, because I NEVER do. :D All my critical thinking skills fly out the window and I almost never figure out the perpetrator (but when I do, I feel like a total rockstar, haha!).

I agree with your issues with cozy mysteries. They can be a bit like Hallmark movies sometimes - beyond easily predictable. I read the 2nd book in this series and enjoyed it and found it nicely different. It's definitely a series I need to pay more attention to.

This sounds cute and fun, in a mystery sort of way.

I read a lot of cozy mysteries and agree with you. Some/many are too light and fluffy and predictable. I enjoy the ones with a bit more meat or eccentric characters. I enjoyed your review Susan and will need to check out this series (not that I don't already have way to many books on my TBR). Thanks for sharing this one.
