Book #2 - Really pleased with this series. Keeps me glued to the pages till the end. ( )

This was fun! I enjoy cozy mysteries every once in a while and so far I have been enjoying the Cozy Corgi Mysteries series. This is the second book in the series but it could easily work as a stand-alone. Fred and Watson are both delightful characters and I thought that the mystery in this book was really well done. I had a great time with this shorter read.

Fred is still working on getting her bookstore open and trying to get ready for Christmas at the same time. Fred ends up in the local toy shop needing a few gifts for family and senses an uncomfortable situation. The next thing you know the store owner is attacked and severely injured. When the local police suspect her friend, Fred decides to get to the bottom of things on her own.

I love the characters in this series. They are all so much fun. Fred is smart and determined. She just wants a chance to start over and make a life that she can enjoy. Her mother and step-father are awesome. Her step-father, Barry, is quite the character and he was responsible for more than a few laughs while I listened to this story. The is a whole crew of quirky characters that populate the town that helps to add some charm to this mystery. And then there's Watson. Watson is full of personality and I love the fact that he is very present in the story.

Angie Hickman did a fantastic job with this story. I loved the different voices she used for all the characters in the story. She really brought the story to life and I thought that she delivered the humor in the book so that it would have a bigger impact. I found myself laughing more than once. She has a wonderful voice that felt perfect for this story. I think that I liked the book just a little more because I decided to listen to it.

I would recommend this book to others. This was a wonderful little mystery that had fantastic characters and just the right amount of Christmas charm. I cannot wait to read more of this great series.

I received a review copy of this audiobook from the author/narrator via Audiobook Boom and have voluntarily left this review. ( )

Woo Hoo…Back with Winnifred and Watson for another mystery in Estes Park.

It’s Christmas and amongst the festivities we have a murder.

Watson…the only thing he likes as much or better than treats is Fred. Something about a dog in the story always tugs at my heartstrings.

Winnifred opening the Cozy Corgi book store is a fun element to the story. Adds a little something extra for me.

Uh Oh, Winnifred can’t even go Christmas shopping without finding a dead body and Officer Green is not exactly on her side.

I am so glad we are adding Katie to the ‘family.’

The quirky characters and humorous dialogue keep me reading this fun series. I would recommend this series if you are looking for some light easy murder mystery reading. And…if you are craving a snack, we have a recipe for Gingerbread to tickle your pallet.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Traitorous Toys by Mildred Abbott.
