This was extremely hard to read. I know cozies are fluff for the most part and there is a formula to them, but this was just tedious. It was difficult getting into the story. She kept speaking in bullet points. "Bullet point one.....bullet point two...." She actually said it on several occasions. Then instead of writing parts of the story, it was in bullet point form. I like bullet points as much as the next person (maybe more) but jeez. Then there was the foot fetish. Please stop looking at the well shaped toes. Really enjoyable cozy mystery! Loved the characters. The main sleuth character in cozy mysteries can sometimes be way too pushy and nosy. This one was definitely nosy, but not so pushy. The plot was really good. I had an idea of who the bad guys were but didn't figure out why, with all the details, until right at the end. I would have given it four stars but I felt like it was a little long. I like my cozy mysteries to be a little quicker reads, but I will definitely put the rest of series on my "to read" list.Also, I loved the main character's need to "bullet point" her life. Nice and neat. It made for very efficient reading and gave insight into the character's own thought processes. And the whole "lover of feet" thing just cracked me up because I actually am a complete "hater of feet"!
I wasn't wild about the characters but I'll give the author another chance.
