Laugh-out-loud funny

I love this series. Very fun to read with quirky characters and laugh-out-loud funny moments. I just wish audible offered the rest of the series.

Birds of a feather flock to leather

Updated review: This is a fun series, but unless you can get them individually on sale like I did, go with the omnibus which offers all 3 books and the novella for 1 credit.

This is a delightful cozy mystery series with quirky characters and zippy narration. I especially enjoy bestie Kate and Annabelle’s distorted sayings like “out of the frying pan, into the fryer.” Unlike some cozies, this one doesn’t just avoid F-bombs; this series avoids all traditional cussing, opting instead for more creative utterances, like “jumping jubilee.” Wait for a sale, given the shorter length, but these provide fun, entertaining popcorn mysteries.
