This is my first time reading this author.
I’m intrigued by this book/series. I liked the mystery and that it was a quick read. I didn’t like that I didn’t really get to know Heather or really any of the characters, not even Dave the dog. I’m hoping that as the series goes along the main characters will develop more. It is possible since these are quick books the author is choosing to let us get to know everyone a little at a time. That would be fine as we don’t know anyone very well our first meeting. I also question how quickly and easily Heather is allowed to help with the investigation. I can go with things though if I like the characters.
It took me about an hour or so to read it. It was interesting enough that I plan to read a few more to see how the story and characters develop.

This was a decent mystery but it's so short, took a little under an hour to read that it really has no time to develop the characters, even the main character Heather and her friend Amy are really little more then sketches and barely more developed then the minor characters in the story. I'll read a couple more to see if I do in fact like the characters. This was the second one I've read and I'll read a few more but what I said about the first book still stands.

Everything I said about the 1st 2 books applies to book 3. But please goodreads fix these page counts, each one of these "ebooks" is listed as 200 pages. The story is barely 20,000 words, no way that translates to a physical book of 200 pages. No way I can read 200 pages in 45 minutes. The first 3 books in this series might make a 200 page book if all 3 were strung together. I'd only read this on Kindle Unlimited, I'd never pay $2.99 for a short story of this quality.

This series tries very hard to be like the Hannah Swensen Series by Joanne Fluke, MC Hannah-Heather, Heather's boyfriend is a widower just like Mike and he has issues, just like Mike. I hope the author doesn't try to fit in a love triangle with the town doctor in future books.… (mehr)
