I stand by my mid book review (see below) and award bonus annoyance points to them if the adult woman MC suddenly starts thinking and acting like a 12 year old with their first crush. Embarrassing.
I'm convinced some cozy mystery authors are threatened with death if they don't add an unnecessary romance (especially with law enforcement) in their books. This is one of them. What other explanation could there be for this nonsense?

I new book for me and I am very pleased I decided to read it. It was a short story but lots of hidden pieces to find and piece together to see the full picture, and what a picture. Don't want to spoil the book for you, so I say grab yourselves a copy and start yourselves on a new journey and see what you find. Off I go to see what the next book in this series brings. Happy reading.
