Perfect for you if...

You enjoy cosy mysteries with small-town charm and a protagonist rebuilding her life after heartbreak.
You like amateur sleuths who get tangled up in murder investigations through their ordinary jobs.
You appreciate humour woven through darker mysteries, with quirky locals and a bit of sass.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer cosy mysteries without romantic subplots or will find the ex-husband backstory tiresome.
You want gritty, dark procedural crime fiction rather than light-hearted whodunits.
You're looking for a standalone; you'd rather not commit to a series from the start.

About this book

Leslie Winters, a former hairdresser, returns to her hometown of Pecan, Texas after her ex-husband leaves her for one of her clients. She takes up pet grooming, hoping to avoid the gossip of local residents. Living with her parents and working from her father's old shed, she begins building her new life. While returning a pair of Pomeranians to their owner, Leslie discovers Mr. Williams dead in his hot tub—shot in the head while wearing only a swimsuit and a Stetson hat. This discovery sets off the events of the mystery at the heart of this cozy mystery novel.
