About the book:
Welcome to the Barks & Beans Cafe, a quaint place where folks pet shelter dogs while enjoying a cup of java...and where murder sometimes pays a visit.
Fed up with her go-nowhere job, newly single Macy Hatfield moves back to her small hometown in West Virginia. She joins forces with her brother Bo in his crazy new venture—the Barks & Beans Cafe, which caters to dog lovers and coffee drinkers alike.
When a golf instructor is murdered at the nearby spiritual center, Macy winds up adopting his Great Dane. Just after Macy finds a mysterious message sewn under the dog's collar, her Dane is dognapped. She launches into a relentless search for her newfound canine friend, but along the way, she digs up a cruel and confident killer.
Join siblings Macy and Bo Hatfield as they sniff out crimes in their hometown...with plenty of dogs along for the ride! The Barks & Beans Cafe cozy mystery series features a small town, an amateur sleuth, and no swearing or graphic scenes.
My review:
I enjoyed this mystery, especially because of it's focus on dogs and adoption. I liked Macy, even though sometimes she did some stupid things when she should have been more careful! She loved dogs, was curious and liked to investigate. Her and her brother had gone through some hard things in their lives and both of them had been recently dumped. Her brother was a great guy, hardworking and protective of her. He also cooked! This was a clean read, no language or sex. There were some love interests for both of them but just the beginning of interest, not really romance. They mention going to church and Bo prayed before a meal but there's also a spiritual center featured where New Age experiences are taught, which I didn't like to see. Macy does lie a few times, too. I thought the mystery was interesting and I am curious to see how their love lives develop. I just hope there isn't New Age material in her next books.
I received a free kindle copy of this book from JustRead Tours. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
