5* Dognapping, baking, hairdressing, and murder? What a mix, but with fun and friends to work together, it all works out in the end. Enjoyed this book, very engaging and hard to put down. Had to finish it all at once, not easy to stop at any spot besides the ending!
5* loved this cozy mystery! I also love cats, so I was as upset as Maddie was when Big Red was kidnapped. I would have been a mess if one of mine had gone missing. Highly recommend this book to like minded readers. SJCatlady
