What is up with all of the "theme song" nonsense? Between that and the constant brand-name dropping and needless clothing / physical descriptions of everyone, I barely soldiered on. Plus, her name annoyed me. HOWEVER, the mystery was ok enough to finish it without too much eye rolling. I'm down with the whole small-town, organic living, pet loving world. I'm not standing in my kitchen whipping up pet food from scratch with all organic fresh ingredients, but I have enjoyed many a farmer's market in my day. So the setting was quaint, and I enjoyed many of the side characters, even though the author threw in so many that you barely got to know any of them. She did waste half the book on a boyfriend you knew from the first line wouldn't be sticking around for book 2, and that annoyed me. I get it; it sets up the heroine for the small-town love interest in book 2. This book was just ok. I didn't hate it. I didn't love it. 2 stars. As a gourmet pet snack creator myself, I loved the theme of this cozy, but was annoyed with the main character at times, and the mystery was more disappointing than I expected in the end. The explanation as to why some things had occurred were a little far fetched. Still, the small town setting, the pet theme, and the variety of characters made it worth the read. As this was the first in series, there was much time spent on set up, so I am looking forward to reading the next book where that will no longer be the case. no reviews | add a review

Interesting story full of pets and some very interesting human characters. The investigation is sometimes frantic and other times somewhat sluggish but always fun.
Voice actor Ann Marie Lee gave a good dramatic reading.
I requested and received a free temporary audiobook from Tantor Audio via NetGalley.
