This is the second book in a series and I enjoyed reading it very much. Agatha and Christie are Rose's two ragdoll cats and Rose owns a bookstore. In this story, pets all over town start getting sick including Christie, which keeps the veterinarian Jack very busy. Rose finds a handmade Valentine card in her mailbox, as do many of the business owners in town and someone is found dead and assumed to have had a heart attack. When Rose and her cats investigate, she finds out that the victim had way more enemies than friends in town. Can Rose solve the mystery before anyone else dies? Interesting characters and story line, good plot and ending.

Great pair of books!

Sit down for a cozy evening and read these two Agatha and Christie Cozy murder mysteries. You'll enjoy the characters, the plot with its multiple suspects and arrest of the villain. Relax and enjoy these two stories!

A short mystery, perfect if you need a break from longer, more intense books. I liked the main character and that the clues to solving the mystery came to her, rather than her running around investigating.
