About this eBook

Riches to rags. … Chaos quiets. … Crime is circling. … And cold cases never cease …

After almost a month in picturesque Kelowna, Doreen Montgomery still can’t keep her notoriety to a minimum or her nose out of other people’s business. Now those suffering from the loss of a loved one seek her out, wanting her help. While the last thing Doreen wants is to have the media discover she’s involved in another cold case, she is already hooked on the details …

But even more is going on.News has gotten out that Nan’s old house is brimming over with valuable antiques, antiques Nan collected and left for Doreen, and the seedier elements of their lovely town are circling like vultures. With her animals in full assistant mode, Doreen must investigate the cold case, right the wrongs of the past, and keep her home safe, all while evading the media—and Corporal Mack Moreau.

Ratings and reviews

This is another entertaining read in this series. Doreen finds herselve knee deep in yet another case in this cozy mystery. Along for the ride are Mack, the long suffering Police Corporal (and potential love interest?), Thaddeus, Goliath and Mugs (Her scene stealing pet assistants) and Nan, (her make you laugh out loud Grandmother). A funny and delightful who-done-it that will keep you guessing and smiling page after page.

Read the first 100 pages of Dale Mayer's Lovely, Lethal Garden Series Book One, and thought it felt contrived. However, some how I now find myself ready to enjoy the fifth book! Great little cozy series.

I really miss this crazy quirky troops, Mugs, Goliath and Thaddeus always succeeded to brighten up my day, nothing but a big smile on my face when reading about these three. Well that and amazing gripping mystery that always make me guessing who's the bad guy is, that keeps me turning page after page until I reach the words "THE END", got no sleep but it's all worth it. Great mystery, wonderful loveable characters, quirky furry friends, with a pinch of love and sweetness, yup you don't want to miss this, especially if you're a cozy mystery fan, this book is a MUST-READ one. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
