MY TAKE: I always enjoy a very well-crafted cozy mystery and this one is no exception. The author has created a town and setting that I'd love to be a part of and the characters that inhabit it are people I'd love to have in my life. It's my kind of place and my kind of story. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of them more in the upcoming stories.
The Silver Sentinels are fantastic - they had me cracking up and worrying about their safety all at the same time. Kelly has her work cut out for her in running the B&B and keeping this wily group in hand. Kelly is an easy to get attached to protagonist although I would have like a little bit more of a backstory on her. The addition of two young sleuths and an adorable dog just up the appeal to this lovely story.
I stayed up and finished this book in one sitting. It was enjoyable and I highly recommend it to every cozy mystery fan and anyone looking for a good, fun story.
Out of 5 JEWELS, I give it:
