So wordy. Stopping to quote Shakespeare mid rescue?!

Forgot I was reading this, picked it up but couldn't remember who was who.

Not holding interest.

Hmmm I collect vintage cosys but this'll go back to the charity shelf.

Oops carried this pb about and I've put it somewhere 'safe' on indefinate pause! 😆

I've skimmed and WTF on every level.
The first two were readable, this is a complete mess.

And then the bad guys stand and give away the whole scheme to Mary Sue *cough* Tiber.

Tiber has an attack of the Mary Sue's. He's got to throw a punch but is more about being slender toned sinking onto Gabriel's arms. His empathy has convenient flashes.

Now Duke the dog shows psychic tracking abilities. There's being a smart dog, being a good tracker, then there's this baloney.

This has been good but it's hit silliness, I'd like to see the Sheriff discover something, or appoint the dog!

Feel more involved in this than the previous book.
I figure hound of the baskerviles was a clue but the details aren't obvious.

This is the Beauty and Beast riot build up. One or both authors were od'ing Disney.

Agent Reid! 😆

A highly qualified empathic dog behaviourist who leaves a dog in the car. No decent person leaves a dog in a car.

Stories ok, characters were interesting up until they met then it was pillowy lips and petulant comebacks. I'm not sure. But cuddles for the pooch.

Know who did it.
Checked end as no way I'm slogging through this, and I'm right.

If you've not been around for 12years how can you know somethings stolen not gifted?

First impression is arrogance rather than super intelligence.
Procedure, behaviour and attitudes feel extremely wrong at every turn.

'Packed his bags and didn't look back' given age then and now, plus the fact he's an acclaimed forensic psychologist - it's a picturesque way of saying he left for university and didn't return that suggests homelessness.

So far I only like Lucian, considering who he is that's a big WTF!

A big problem is that Elliot is 20, his sister 18
Oh and he meets his love interest early but is yet to see him again.

An 18yr old girl being the crush of someone who must around twice her age is NOT cute, it's messed up.

Finally, author remembered the plot!
Hopefully the tears, sappy speeches and awkward sex is over for awhile.
Bring back Lady R, the ghost has more life in her than these sad sacks

Mason is too perfect, too supportive, too understanding.

They've barely met. Ward hired him. Timeout for white privilege drama. They're now buisness partners with no clear structure or contract or hours. There's more secrets but they hookup.

Hello tears. Nonsstop tears. Open faucet everything's soggy tears. They don't know each other well enough or long enough for this, Mason should be fleeing the scene!

He's crying AGAIN!
still crying?

Yes, the client families situation is tragic if used to force emotional drama.

But if the husband had been out of work two years before his sudden tragic death, why the hell hadn't the wife got a job?
Her parents were old-fashioned - so? as a mother of three time to woman-up!

And if so poor why were they wasting money hiring a ghost-talker? What would it solve?

Why has Ward become so incredibly insecure and soggy?

Alma the pretty dog that appears ..then gets forgotten.

Ward keeps the cat litter tray in his bedroom?!

Every character in the series is vegetarian, has food intolerance and lives of pizza and cookies

Not sure why Hart is anyone's hope he's not shown any detecting, even moderate intelligence or empathy yet.

It's flawed, too much hyperbole, disorganised... but I'm still reading 😆

Amazing rec! I fancied a change.

Bit convoluted, but interesting verse and entertaining so far.

They're cleaning up, despite crime tape being up, then phoning the police about evidence they find.
This story is weak.

Not gelling with the writing. Mystery is so obvious there nothing to investigate. Procedure is off.
There's smirking and snickering.

Writing is very simple, lots of extraneous detail that stops the story flow.
Dry ice at a Mead tasting? In a punch, Cocktail bar maybe, but at a small specialised home brewery?
Sis-in-law by be a whizz at pairing nibbles but her aesthetic needs work.

Expectations are low, this is very simply written, but I love Bees, Dogs and Cosy mysteries so this is a must read for me.

Thought this was a hockey series.
So far it's Zeke; hyper, probable adhd, maturity of a 12yr old with an out of control crush. Gym teacher at kindergarten - I thought at that age (5yrs?) it would be general teaching but it's a rich kid school. Actually you'd think they'd hesitate to employ someone so given to odd squealing.
Oh and a big tough hockey guy who blushes A LOT.

End of first chapter and I'm not won over. Zeke is too much. The glimpse we've had the kindergarten kid is more mature than her coach.

Good thing for dual pov (not usually my fav) or Fenn would come across abusive. As it is you can narrow your eyes and go with it. His reason for being there/issues haven't been given but boy has major baggage.
