Not as good as I hoped it would be
The headline pretty much says it all. I had hoped this could be a nice cozy mystery series, the plus being the chihuahua. I have a chihuahua, so it would have been fun to like this series beginning and dive into the books. Can’t really explain why, and although I read it to the end, it just didn’t grab me as much as I had hoped. Nice characters, but kind of a meandering story line.

This story was very intriguing from start to finish. However, I had it all figured out when Cater/Peter started messing with Cupcake’s collar. This was kind of lightweight, high stakes for such a short story. You will not be disappointed.
There’s no limit to a sociopath’s destruction.

It was a cute little murder mystery read. I was able to finish it in one sitting. This definitely fits the bill of a cozy read but it was really predictable, but enjoyable.
