I’ve never been much of a Thanksgiving fan mainly since it’s just one day. My brain usually goes from summer to Halloween then directly to Christmas, but I really enjoyed this mystery. There wasn’t a body, but it was still interesting and compelling as police, Olivia and crew tried to figure out what happened to a teen that was missing.
That had a good outcome which made the friends’ Thanksgiving even more special. I loved what each one had to say when they took turns telling what they were grateful for. I really liked getting to know Olivia’s longtime bestie Cara who’d come for a visit and found myself wishing she’d stay. Who knew she’d hit it off so well with the quilting ladies, lol. Although if Cara ever did move there, I’m wondering if it might make Meg a little sad since she and Olivia are the Timber Falls besties. Can’t wait for the next book after reading the description at the end of this one. I’d love to see Christmas in Timber Falls, but it sounds like the next book takes place after Christmas but still in winter.

Another delightful book in this series. The characters are well done and the cat is marvelous!

It's all about to hit the fan when Olivia's BFF from her former life comes to visit. This leaves new friend Meg feeling potentially left out, and with the mystery of the moment taking everyone's attention, well, it just made for a fun read. I did like Cara, but she is a bit of a wildcard who seems to be more invested in the adrenaline rush she gets from the investigating. Cara is fine as a visiting presence, but I don't think I want her as a full time member of the group. The mystery wasn't as interesting to me this time round. I found the whole vandalism whodunnit not quite what I was hoping for. Still, this was fast paced and I flew through the book. Onwards to book 6.

Wonderful Thanksgiving Classic
I love the wonderful characters in this cozy mystery set in the Mountains of Colarado. I love Mille, the Guardian cat, though in real life, I'm allergic and definitely a dog person. I'm sure that would change if I had a mystical dander-free talking cat. This book left me wrong feeling warm and happy for those who love and support others, whether neighbors, newcomers, or strangers. Thanks for this sweet Thanksgiving mystery.

No dead bodies
A cozy mystery where no one gets killed but is still intriguing. Being the owner of three cats I know how attached you get to them. I also talk to them and use them to help me problem solve. Unfortunately, my cats, unlike Millie speak a foreign language. But they do provide comfort and caring.
An enjoyable read. I can relate to having the kind of relationship s these ladies share

Not my favorite one so far. There seemed to be a lot of negativity - mostly from Olivia about herself. Cara - her visiting friend - was way too interested in solving the mystery without being thoughtful or safe. At least Olivia was trying to keep Rob in the loop as they did stuff. Super short read.

I was a little disappointed in this one. I did not like Olivia's friend Cara at all. I hope she does NOT move to Millie's town. Having Cara in the house meant conversations between Olivia and Millie were very limited.

Millie. I want her for myself
I love these books. I stumbled upon them by accident but have fallen in love. Courtney’s writing style makes you feel as if you are there and for someone that doesn’t like to read, I can’t put them down. Looking forward to seeing what happens next with Millie!
