About this ebook

Riches to rags … Chaos might be slowing … Only a new murder occurs … Sending her off the trail again …

It’s been a tough few weeks since Robin and Mathew, Doreen’s ex-lawyer and her ex-husband, slid back into her life.

Okay, so maybe Robin isn’t here any longer to cause torment, but Mathew is. And he’s not planning to leave Doreen alone anytime soon, although thankfully he’s gone back home for a while. Trying to recuperate looks doubtful for Doreen, when a local gardener is kidnapped, while picking nasturtiums for dinner.

The case heats up when the missing man’s niece appears on Doreen’s doorstep, looking for help, including asking Doreen to accompany her to the police station.

Not at all sure what’s going on, but willing to help someone in need—particularly after having been a suspect herself—Doreen tags along, looking to do her good deed for the day.

But no good deed goes unpunished, and, when Mathew calls, Doreen gets more than she bargained for, including all the usual suspects: love, jealousy, and … greed. It takes everything from her feathered and furred critter team to keep her safe, as she digs to the bottom of yet another crazy case …

Ratings and reviews

This one had my head spinning with all the twists and turns, a whopping of a mystery and through it all Doreen deals with her ex and learning the nuances of a single women learning how to survive. I busted out laughing with the "cut a check" section, but then I thought wow, this could be a real life situation for some who had servants and was given money. Learning to survive. My heart did a pitter patter when Mack and Doreen went out for a date. Yes a D A T E. If you have read the series, you will understand. If you haven't I recommend you treat your self, and enjoy. Thank you for the arc! I voluntarily share my thoughts and opinions.

a 3.5 stars reads. This series definitely one of my fav cozy mysteries. The story is always about Doreen and her fur babies with unique side characters around her that are so loveable like Nan and Mack. No cold case this time for Doreen instead it's an ongoing case about missing person, typical Doreen she can't say no to any kind of case especially when someone contacting her to ask her to solve the case. So the journey to find out the truth begins. Another fun, full of laughter read for me and the most I'm super excited and really love about is the blooming of Mack and Doreen relationship, because I adore these two, they're just so perfect for each other, their banter so refreshing and cute and sweet and I loveee it. There's actions too and I always love when the fur babies take actions, I just want to have Mug, Goliath and Thadeus for myself. Although the plot twist kinda confusing for me in the end, I still enjoying it nonetheless. Totally recommended for anyone who loves a light and fun cozy mystery reads.

Another tale in the Lovely Lethal Gardens Series. Doreen and her team of fur and feathers find another cold case that heats up. In the meantime, she and Mack are taking another step closer and Doreen deals with her "not soon enough" ex. I love Doreen's allies in this story. A gentle romance with many unexpected turns. Love this series! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
