Best mystery I've read in a while!
I thought this was going to be the usual, simple cozy mystery. But it started out with a bang right from the beginning, and progressed into an exciting story, complete with lots of interactions with the locals and followed by drama, including lots of plot twists.

a woman, her fog, and a mystery
An enjoyable tale of a vet behaviorist who moves to a small town and becomes embroiled in a murder mystery with the help of her dog biscuit. The move ultimately becomes just what she needs in her life and she is home! The characters are credible and likeable and I hope we have more books toco e!

Repetitive text
The story was great but the repetitive text throughout the book was annoying. It would have been much better reading without that.
