I totally enjoyed this cozy mystery. Wanda, the main character is endearing—even if she is a busy body. Then there’s her nephew, Todd, the rookie cop who does not want to get in trouble due to his aunt’s meddling, He also doesn’t want her to get hurt. But suspected robbers might be hiding nearby after a jewelry heist in another town. Wanda intends to be helpful when she sets up a neighborhood watch organization and her friends are all involved in the effort. It’s just delightful to see how supportive they are for each other. The clues for solving the jewelry heist and finding the robbers seem to come from the words in the Scrabble game Wanda plays with Todd. All in all, this was a good mystery and Ms. Cosgrove is a very talented author.… (altro)

I read the first book in this series, One Leaf Too Many, and enjoyed it. This mystery was just as good as the first. One of the aspects of this series that I find heart warming is how the three friends stick together and truly help each other, not only emotionally but spiritually. And Jessica is in need of a great deal of assistance. From the moment she meets her biological father in prison, she believes he is innocent. But delving into the past is dangerous and soon Jessica isn't sure who she can trust. Really a worth while read!… (altro)
