Reviews

[Eileen Mathys · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a cozy mystery where the female protagonist believes herself to be an amateur sleuth and detective. She reads an obituary where she believes the death is suspicious and is out to prove a murder was committed. I found myself laughing at the antics of May in search of the perceived killer.
