Peril Among the Pansies

Clover Haven Mysteries #1

by Kristy T Dixon

A lost pug, strange noises in the morgue, and an old crush—what has Neeley gotten herself into?

Neeley Kelter loves her hometown and owns a charming flower shop on the same land as her grandpa’s rundown mortuary. But when a local gravedigger is found shot in the morgue, Neeley’s peaceful small-town life takes a deadly turn.

To make matters worse, the sheriff called to the scene is Troy McGregor—her former best friend and the man she hasn’t spoken to in fifteen years. As secrets sprout and old feelings resurface, Neeley finds herself tangled in a mystery that’s as prickly as it is personal.

With a cozy mystery book club meeting in the morgue, an eccentric grandpa who hears things no one else does, a trail of buried secrets, and one very opinionated pug, Neeley must unearth the truth before the killer strikes again.

An Incredible Mystery by Kristy T Dixon

This is my first Kristy T Dixon book and it was excellent. The characters are very well written and realistic. The mystery was great and I had no clue who was doing what. And there was a lot going on. This was a wonderful adventure and I can't wait to get the next book in this series.

Did I read the book just because there's a pug in the cover? Yes and I was pleasantly delighted. It's a cute and short book set in a small town where everyone has to stick their noses in everyone's business. It was funny and even thought it was a murder mystery it was still lighthearted, there are some plot holes and things that would only happen in a book but I didn't care cause it had a cute little pug as the main characters companion.

I was immediately drawn in by how cute the cover was and ended up really enjoying this book! It was a short book so pretty fast paced and I loved the small town aspect. I would definitely pick up more books in this series, even if it's just to see what Murphy is up to!
