a lovely new cozy novel from the Steve Higgs world

if you are looking for cozy mysteries featuring plucky mature women with touches of humor and esp if you love dogs and cats Steve Higgs has hit it out of the park again with this new series. He write several different series featuring a different 'lead' but they all live in same area so some characters you meet in the other series. this one is a spin-off from a story in a Patricia Fisher mystery. it's fun to recognize characters I love in the other series...like old friends.
the narrator does an excellent job of bringing the story and ppl to life.

Different, very enjoyable!

Easy reading, enjoyable subject matter, fun and entertaining to the end!loved the human and animal characters!

Fun mystery, helpful pets.

Good pacing, fun mystery and an amazing narrator.
Felicity may not always get it right, but at least her animals still love her. I recommend this to all animal loving mystery buffs.

Seriously???

Felicity Philips is a wedding planner who is in her 50's and whose life is as plain and normal as possible, with the possible exception of her being rather ambitious. All of sudden she decides to investigate a murder. Now Felicity is breaking the law right and left, stealing things, breaking and entering, and other unlawful mischief. She goes against everyone's advice, including her own, to put herself in harm's way. I found it so unlikely that an ambitious wedding planner with a reputation to uphold would get involved in the situations described in the book that I couldn't even finish the story - a rarity for me. The best part of the book was "Adventure Dog." I love mysteries, and I especially love mysteries that involve dogs, and so I'm sorry to give this such a low rating.
