About this ebook

When the Captain suggests that Doreen might want to break her boredom spell by looking into an old case, she jumps at the chance. Anything new is always great, and anything that the Captain gives her means she has his permission—which gives her a lot of leeway in getting the information she needs.

However, when she realizes the case is about the long-forgotten and unidentified bones of a baby, … she knows this case will hurt in so many ways. Still, the thought of this case remaining unsolved for so many years makes her all that more determined to solve it.

However, the more digging she does, the more people try to clamp down on talking to her, as she learns that family members of that little girl are still alive. No one is willing to talk, except one—who dies the morning after …

When her case dovetails with another case and an old big-business local family, the gloves are off, and Doreen wades into the mix as always …

Ratings and reviews

(4.5) Doreen is working another cold case, courtesy of the Captain. Mugs (dog)Thaddeus (bird) and Goliath(cat)are her trusty companions as she delves into the mystery that provides few clues. Her grandmother and her cohorts are ready to assist. I love the fact that besides there being twists and turns in the mystery is that I am always learning or relearning things. Watching Doreens' relationship with Mack grow and evolve is the icing on the cake. It was a perfect read on my rainy day. Thank you

A 3.5 stars read. I'm here for all the cozy small town mystery vibes. I adore Doreen and her fur babies and Nan and the gang and love the romance between Doreen and Mack her fiancee. The mystery is pretty twisted and sad and there were a part that got me a bit teary, so even though lots of meandering and repetitive and lots of convenience I still enjoy it, again I'm here for the vibes. My fav is definitely when Mugs, Goliath and Thadeus in action.

In this new series "Lovely Lethal Gardens Rewind" Doreen and her pets are at it again and you can't help but totally enjoy it. She is engaged now and her story continues to entertain. Her love of solving old cases, sometimes involved with new cases, is ongoing. She often puts herself in danger which can frustrate her fiance Mack and now Mack's Captain is asking for her help. She and her pets along with her grandmother Nan and her buddies are a perfect blend for great reading. I received a f
