About this ebook

Hearts start to heal. ... Friendships start to grow, ... just not for everyone!

Doreen knows her relationship with the police captain has always been on thin ground. She has helped them solve a lot of cases, but she’s quadrupled their work and constantly gets in their way. So no one is more surprised than Doreen when the captain stops by and asks for a personal favor, concerning a cold case from his own childhood.

Slowly recovering from his injury, Corporal Mack Moreau learns that the captain has stopped by Doreen’s house, asking for a moment of her time. Curious, Mack’s even more stunned to hear the details about his captain’s visit. Mack wants to help, but investigating a case from forty years ago doesn’t leave much behind to go on.

Doreen knows that failing to solve a case has to happen sometime. But she’d do a lot to not have that happen here, not when the captain had personally asked for her help. So, with her critters in tow, Doreen is off and running, … leaving Mack watching—and worrying—in her wake.

Ratings and reviews

Doreen and her friends of feather and fur have created a reputation, well earned. Mack, the police force and the community all have different views of Team Doreen. A 40 year old cold case, no apparent leads, and few initial leads. I love reading how Team Doreen (and Mack) pull the strings to bring the mystery to completion. Unpredictable, playful, fun, friendship and romance, and lots of coffee. Bravo! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Doreen is asked by Mack's Captain if she can look into a 40 year old cold case. This case is personal for the Captain, so Doreen is hoping this won't be the case that she can't solve. Twists and turns and page turning mystery. Mack's brother is visiting, and has news for Doreen, about her divorce, and that has her a little on edge as well. The relationship with Mack is moving along nicely though, so that keeps Doreen grounded somewhat. Forget about getting sleep when you're reading this series.

This one is the 19th book and as you know by now, I loveeeee this cozy mystery series, I'm so invested in Doreen's story with her relationship with Corporal Mack, her full of life grandmother nan and her adorable fur babies, there's no dull moments in Doreen's life, therefore it's always super fun to read and there's no exception with this book, it's another fast-paced cozy mystery with a hint of sadness in this cold case.
