A queer cosy mystery that's partially told from the perspective of an inquisitive dog? Yes, please!
Fun, adorable, and inclusive. Somehow both fresh and original yet still comfortable.

Okay, this book has a fun plot, a nice mystery, wonderfully crafted characters (including a pair of hilarious corgis), and the setting work absolutely made me want to live on Pride Street. Well, you know, maybe without the murders.
The basic premise is that while Garrett and John are dinging at a sushi restaurant, a server (and friend of theirs) dies mid-shift. The server, Sashi, has made quite a few enemies via blackmail schemes, and John takes it upon himself to start poking into who might have been threatened enough to kill to keep their secrets under wraps.
All in all, this is a super quick read with a story that stays on track, but somehow you're also introduced into the world of Pride Street and get just enough backstory into the main characters to make them feel like real people. It's a perfect example of concise writing.
I also loved how the book kept up the pace by shifting between the viewpoint of Garrett (trans-human) and Marsha (treat-loving corgi) because it provided a slightly different insight into clues and what was going on. There are also a few chapters with John and Garrett's resident ghost, which added another layer of interest to the story.
Overall, this is a delightful read, I couldn't get enough of Marsha's combination of snarky-yet-innocent personality, and I'll definitely be diving into more Pride Street tales.

Written sweetly and with great kindness. It is thin, but it is a cozy and they don't go for great depth, but a nice way to follow nice characters. A death is investigated by a trans man antiques dealer, his dog and a ghost that lives in their house. It is a lot, but still nothing to worry too much about.

Cute cozy mystery
Quick, cute read. Loved the world building with the Pride Street concept. Wasn't a fan of first person POV bouncing around with three characters. I think third person would have been better. All in all a wonderful concept and a fun read though.

This was a cute cozy with all the LGBTQ+ representation and corgis. There were depictions of past transphobic comments.

A wonderful tale about a gay couple, their corgis, and resident ghost solving the murder of their friends demise. Sweet and heartwarming.
