Some of these characters and places may seem familiar to you if you’ve read the Heywood Herbalist series. However you do not have to have read those books, although I do recommend them, to enjoy this story. In this story we follow Gina a woman of many trades as she tries to clear her older brother Vic of murder charges which she’s 99% sure he’s innocent of. She has helped solve a mystery or two before but this is the first time she’s lead the investigation. Luckily she has the help of her talking canine companion Daisy who picks up clues that a human could not. She also works in tandem with Trevor a deputy in the sheriff’s department who believes that Vic is innocent as well. What you can expect a town full of eccentrics, silly doggie shenanigans, a woman trying to figure out her next chapter in life now that her son is off in college and a thorny mystery with a lot of suspects and light on evidence that doesn’t point to Vic. Most of all you’ll get an enjoyable cozy to while away an afternoon or evening with and a new series to love!. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
