I rarely read cozy mystery. This made me want to read it even more! The actual sleuthing was so fun and thrilling to read. I loved that she's a ghost writer! I truly did not guess who the suspect truly was the entire time. I loved the characters (except Barbie. If you know, you know.) Poe, of course, was adorable and makes me want to read more cozy mystery with kitty companions.

I rated it 4 starts, simply for two minor things. One was that it was hard to get used to the author using ' ' instead of " " for dialog. It wasn't a deal breaker but not my favorite. What also confused me, and maybe I am just dumb but the author may be British. The characters are from America but say some things and words that remind me more of a British way of speaking over American but again, it's not a deal breaker. I hope there is more to this series!

What a great mysterious and gripping plot. From the very beginning you get instant hooked to the sort and the characters. I don’t want to reveal the mystery and secrets but this is a must read book. Hats off to the writer T.C
