I have read the first five in the series. This fifth book has a good plot but plot lines changed from the first four and timing wasn’t consistent. It made it frustrating to read but still enjoyed it.

Loved it!
A young woman comes to Tidal Cove and asks Wren to meet with her. Sarah's father was killed in an accident, that wasn't really an accident, before she was born. Her grandfather, who was killed in the prior book, left a letter for her. Together, they expose the corruption that has been going on for decades, accidents and suicides that were really murders to cover up the wealthy families. Very much enjoyed the book, and this series.

SIT IS A GREAT STORY
Author Sophie Lyons continues to deliver interesting, page turning, stories filled with twists and turns , and clues to solve the mystery. Lyons weaves in excellent problem solving tips with her characters and also shows the very special relationships of pets.

Still loving this series. I was a little confused at the beginning because I didn’t know where Bea was, but I did at the end. I would just have preferred to know at the start. I love all the characters and I felt she was left out. Still a great book and I highly recommend this whole series. I am starting the sixth book and hope there will be more.

I love the unique perspective of these novels. I have never thought of things from it. I love the characters, both people and dogs. Looking forward to the next adventure.

SIT
Sophie Lyon did it again! SIT was another “who done it” with excitement, mystery, more amazing characters and family. There are lessons to be learned in Lyon’s stories but enjoyment and fun are provided by this author above all else.

Good read. could really use a proofreader
Wren made it thru a year in Tidal Cove. More drama than she dreamed, but thru it all, she became a stronger person, and helped some other town folk to gain some resolve.

sit; stay; patience- good commands to live by
Really enjoyed this series. All tied into a neat ending. Can’t wait to start the next series. I’ve come to rely on Lyon to write really good books.

Another amazing case solved
I look at my dog and wonder sometimes what she is thinking. And I think about this novel and how the dogs always seemed to know so much.

Discrepancies
I found discrepancies in this book from the previous book, I believe was Stay, that I was very disappointed in. However, overall the book was a good read.
