Only trouble with reading on a kindle is ...I miss the covers. Another book I enjoyed. ( )

I like this series because I grew up spending all my time on Siesta Key, but it is not a cheerful cozy series. I find it melancholy and a bit hard to read sometimes, but I see hints of humour now in the later books and I'll stick with the series, if for nothing else than a 'visit' home. ( )

Here's another of those books that can't decide if it's large or regular print so it's somewhere in-between. That makes the reader think they are getting something a lot more substantial to read than is actually the case. What is the case is rather weak this time out for Dixie Hemingway. She is helping an elderly man with an injury care for his cat. His granddaughter and great-granddaughter show up unannounced, and the trouble starts. His house is set on fire, and a kidnapping occurs. Dixie to the rescue! Major developments in Dixie's love life also occur in this novel. It's a nice, little diversion, but something a little more plausible and involved the next time would be better. Still, the Florida setting is nice for mid-Winter. ( )
