Good but stop on the kitschy partial Sue name.

These are good mysteries. But please drop the “partial sue” name. it takes away from a good mystery. It’s not cute or catchy.

Getting stuck in to Fiona’s World

As a semi-retired person, the authenticity of the characters really appeals and satisfies. Each story builds on the previous. All are a fun read.

Different turns in the plot

Several different likely scenarios kept the reader guessing as to who the killer was. I liked the tie in from the previous story

Murder She Wrote + Golden Girls = great fun

I truly enjoyed all three books in this series and hope there are more to come. I found the performance in all three to be excellent, the stories clever, and I looked forward to getting to know Fiona, Daisy, Partial Sue, and friends.
If you are looking to smile while figuring out who dunnit and are a fan of Murder She Wrote or The Golden Girls, you’ll enjoy this series.

Cozy Mulder Mystery

Great story line with many good twists. The story is quite believable with delightful characters. I like closure and the story ended with everyone in a happy place.....except the villains.
