I enjoy mysteries that keep me guessing and this book did just that, I loved it. The protagonist and her mother only with her aunt riding shot keep meningitis stitches .

Great cozy mystery! I liked that the characters were "older" - you don't find very often

The story was interesting & quick moving. And there was a dog in it- this book hit all the must haves for me.

I will be reading more by J L Wilson.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This is an excellent read if you love animals; enjoy small town college America and like romance as the driving factor in the story.
Can I say I enjoyed everything written about the cats and dogs in this book and found the story being set in this college town was very interesting but I didn't care for the sloppy stuff. Not that it is content with just kisses and claims of undying love.
I was attracted to the unexplained deaths of Charlie and later his niece. I thought the character of Dr Doyle was engaging and the book never threatened to stall when she was in the narrative which is most of the novel.
The mystery isn't that difficult to comprehend. It does reflect badly on the local sheriff and law enforcement agencies. However, on the face of it the two deaths were seen as natural causes.
I like that the relationship development between Dr Doyle, Acie and her Mom was realistic and believable and it was amusing to see what Mom and Aunt Sherry in their 80's.
The writing is of a high standard and filled with literature humour that makes this always an entertaining read.
It is my fault as it is billed as 'A Remembered Classics Romance'. A note about the author. J L Wilson writes mysteries touched by romance, time travel mixed with romance and romantic paranormal fiction. clearly they do not write with me in mind but I am delighted to have read it.
