Clutter Free
This is a good beginning to what I hope is a long running series. The mystery was nicely done with fast-pacing and well-written narrative. The characters were developed enough to keep me interesting in the role they played and I enjoyed following the crumbs the author planted for us to solve the puzzle.
Bite the Dust
This was the first book I’ve read by Jackie Layton, but it won’t be the last. It drew me in from the first page, and I resented the times I had to put it down. No soggy middle here. Strong plot, likable characters, and beautiful writing will have you reaching for the next book in the series.
Bite the Dust
I love Layton's dog-walking series set in South Carolina. This is a fun mystery. I love all the dogs and the southern culture. Add this one to your TBR list
Weeding Out Lies
I thoroughly enjoyed Jackie Layton's latest cozy and beginning to her new series, Weeding Out Lies: A Texas Flower Farmer Cozy Mystery. Emma has finally found her way to being a flower farmer, her life-long dream. Her daughter is off at college and she's settled into her life in Lutz, Texas, until one of her friends is found murdered and another friend is blamed. Emma takes on the role of amateur detective in this entertaining story. Oh---Emma meets Jake, a new guy in town, but is he a help or a hinder? If you enjoy cozies, you'll want to read this one. The cover is lovely and I love all the references to flowers.
