Fun and Entertaining

I enjoyed the forth novel of this series. It's a bit unrealistic that every single man in town is instantly in "like" with Dev. However, Swanson makes it work. I enjoyed this latest addition to the series and can't wait to see how it continues with the new twists and turns introduced.

I like this series!

I enjoy this author, and the series. I liked the Chapters that were written from the point of view of Devereax's prospective beaus.

This reader captures Devereax's voice perfectly. And I did not solve the mystery before it was revealed!

Well-Done Story

Devereaux's Dime Store is one of the locations being used for the Kizzy Cutler's Cupcake Competition in her original home town of Shadow Bend. When Kizzy's assistant is killed and there are a couple of attempts on Kizzy's life, Devereaux is determined to figure out what this is all about.

Well done audio version of the book.

Cozy chick-lit mystery

Cozy mystery in the chick-lit manner. Lots of female characters but some are a bit too shallow and stereotypical. Entertaining.

Good story

Once it started going it was a good story and entertaining.. this was my first read book in the series. I’ll read more soon
