Borrowed Trouble: A Melanie Bass Mystery
After the murder of her ex-husband is solved, visiting nurse Melanie Bass is confident she will never again cross paths with Detective Sunny Cody. She is shocked when the detective suddenly shows up on her doorstep to ask Melanie for a favor. What starts out as an assignment Detective Cody assures her will be quick and simple, instead soon puts Melanie, her dog Bruno, and Detective Cody herself in serious jeopardy. Melanie quickly becomes increasingly enmeshed in an investigation involving drugs, lies, and danger.
To make things worse, Melanie’s good friend Lynn Duncan is being stalked by an unknown man, and Melanie’s love life is threatened by her commitment to helping Detective Cody. While compelled by what she feels is a moral and personal obligation to be involved with Detective Cody’s investigation, Melanie must also find a balance in her personal life and avoid putting her own life in further jeopardy.

I don't think I want to read any more books in this series. The characters and situations seemed right up my alley, but the writing was flat and boring. From time to time I'd find myself reading ordinary life descriptions--the "brushed her teeth and went to bed" sort--and suddenly pull back and wonder why I was wasting my time. It wasn't funny, didn't develop the character, and certainly didn't advance the plot. It was just filler, and too much of it.
And there was no real depth of character in the main character or anyone else, which might be okay in a cozy mystery so long as there was plenty of humor. Which there was not.
If you think I'm being overly negative, you may be right--It might must be my attitude right now. So if you like the premise, go ahead and give it a shot. It has good ratings.

Very entertaining mystery
I enjoyed the entire book. I had already read her first one. I like how she continued a few of the characters in her first book into this second one. The author weaves together an interesting plot with unexpected twists and turns. I am looking forward to reading her next book ( hopefully she is writing one)
