Tis my season for cozy mysteries! This is the second book in the series, however it does work as a stand alone. Of course, you will get more of the backstory if you read book 1, I did find myself doing just fine without and I was quickly caught up on the characters lives. I think I am learning to appreciate cozy mysteries more lately. For me what has been standing out to me is just the amazing cast of side characters they always seem to have, like the side characters almost make the books! And that is exactly what happened here. The side characters provided the balance to the strong main characters. This book was also fun in that it had lots of great laugh out loud moments, something else I didn’t realize seems to be a must for this sub-genre. The pacing was medium and propelled me through the story nicely. I didn’t feel rushed or hurried, yet not like I was lallygagging either, it was great. Oh and this one is written by two authors, but its seamlessly done and I couldn’t even tell which was even better.

If you are looking for a fun and quirky cozy mystery full of great characters, then look no further.
