I love cozy mysteries and this series is so worth the read. I really enjoyed this title and the series - I highly recommend it
Great setting with interesting ideas and characters. Solving this mystery really surprised me. I even never guessed at the ending.
I enjoyed this one, I almost had the killer figured out correctly. I love it when I'm off a bit, kudos to the author. I do have a bit of a problem believing that the cops consider you the main suspect in a murder investigation and they don't do enough research to find out your real name, but cops do tend to look inept in any book or movie where a regular person solves their cases so that's not a problem. I enjoyed Sam's character, she had empathy for those around her born from her trials in life instead of seeing the worst she sought the best. That's a pleasure to read. I loved the farm with its mini cows and goats. Seeing her begin to reach out to Annabelle as a friend was also a plus. Overall it wasn't just a cozy because it was clean, but also a heart cozy, helping you see that everyone has problems they're working through.
Hanging on the edge of each page! Never knowing which direction and who did what makes for a page turner.
