This is a fun cozy mystery I'm reading this week. Excerpts are from the E-ARC.
Book Beginnings
The dealer thrust the bag in my direction, noting the tremble in my hands. I lunged forward to clasp the precious purchase.
This is at 56% on my e-reader.
My dutiful great aunt grabbed the pitcher and strolled to the kitchen, mumbling something about people who should listen to their doctors and watch their sugar intake. Okay, maybe dutiful wasn't the right word.
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Ro Bergeron’s grandparents raised her to be, well, helpless. She can’t boil an egg or keep a plant alive. When Ro inherits her childhood home, she decides to open a bed and breakfast for humans and their canine friends. Running a business catering to people is a big undertaking for thirty-two year old Ro—let alone pets too—yet with faith she is confident she can handle it. She even has her first guests booked for the coming weekend!
But when her meddlesome great aunts find the opportunity to solve a local murder too irresistible, Ro's new life as a business owner is turned upside-down! As Min and Win Rascoe indulge their sleuthing skills, a reluctant Ro and her enthusiastic house guests are drawn into the mystery.
Will the Rascoe sisters and their unconventional team solve the murder before Ro’s high school crush Detective Jason Charbonnet? Can Ro master the skills of cooking and hosting? Will life for Ro in the tiny town of Belle Bayou ever be the same?
This book is the first of the Three Dog Mystery Series.

Your excerpt from page 56 gave me a chuckle. I think this book sounds fun.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it would be fun to read to see if she can pull off running a business as well as for the mystery.
ReplyDeleteThe great aunt sounds like a fun character! I'll have to look for this one.
