Twin sisters Hazel and Mabel Rohleder have lived all their long lives in Willow Bend. When Mabel dies without a will, Hazel is bereft and worried about how best to honor Hazel's wishes. Lawyer Nick Kendrick offers his help, but friend and sleuth Gracie Parks thinks there is more to it than meets the eye. With prayer and a little help from her friends, Gracie helps Hazel celebrate her birthday - and the birthday of her sister - in gratitude for a life well lived!
A very quick read. It is a simple storyline with predictable plot. There is a lot of prayers and talk of trusting God. I liked the book but it seemed flat to me. There were a few places that seemed to skip information also. I checked to make sure I didn’t miss something. Like suddenly Gracie opens the door to Kathleen. After she was just talking to someone. There is no mention of a knock or time lapse. Just suddenly she is opening the door. I think I will read the other books from this series when I need something easy and light. I recommend it if you want an uncomplicated comfort story with a happy ending.
This book was very sweet. It was indeed a cozy mystery but a bit too 'cozy' for me. I'm used to a big mystery and lots of sleuthing going on. This was a rather small mystery and very little sleuthing. All in all - for a lightweight cozy mystery - it was cute.
