She even has a PhD in philosophy but doesn't use her degree. She's down-to-earth,
kind, and gentle. She loves her pet sitting business and continues to prosper.
My only complaint is the lack of romance. I love my cozies to have a bit of romance in
them when there are a couple viable heroes present; not graphic but at least a little bit
to show relationships are moving in that direction. The sparks between Daphne and
Jonathan are still there in book 3 but I'm getting tired of the dance. The potential for
romance in this series is high, yet I've felt a little let down in that department. I would like
to see a bit more between Daphne and someone else. I'm leaning toward a certain
detective (hint hint)...
The author does a spectacular job with the continued character development and world
building. I love Sylvan Creek and how alive the author writes the town and characters
(that is, unless you happen to be the latest murder victim). The book is engaging from
the very beginning and kept me entertained throughout. There was never a dull moment
and some of Daphne's antics had me smiling. The author's writing style is phenomenal.
All dialogue was smooth, thought out, and conversational. The twists and turns kept me
guessing all the way until the end. This book's ending actually shocked me a bit. I had
no clue who the one was responsible for the mayhem in book 3.

Review by Babs
From the first page any cozy mystery lover is going to like the
book. So many great stories to keep the reader turning the
pages. There are 14 authors who share a little bit about their
series. Don’t let the snippets fool you this will give you a
sense of what the authors are like and you might just get a
glimpse of a new author or two for you.
I don’t want to give anything away but trust me when I say you
are going to love this book.
