A Good Cozy Mystery

This was an enjoyable cozy mystery. The story flowed, the characterizations were good, the mystery solvable. There was even some humor thrown in, along with teenage angst and naughty happenings at the sorority next door. Claire's money problems were realistic so that I felt like I wanted to shop in her store and help her out. However, it was frustrating to read about the way she let her daughter do whatever she wanted and talk to her disrepectfully. I also couldn't believe that Claire was so nosy. But then I later realized that Claire and her daughter are very much alike. Though not my favorite cozy mystery series, this one is enjoyable. I'll read the whole series eventually.

Joan Hess is a delight to read and this is one of her best.

Joan Hess is loads of fun to read and this is one of my favorites. Her characters are delightful and the heroine is someond you can really identify with. Highly recommended
