We’re back with Hadley again in this 4th episode of the Hadley home design mystery series. I loved getting to see her again. She’s such a 3 dimensional character with so much personality and a heart of gold. She genuinely wants to help everyone she can. This time, her help might get a bit tricky when she says yes to be Dennis Appley’s fake girlfriend. He’s actually in love with a fellow cop, but there’s a rule that you can’t date within the police department, so he needs a fake girlfriend. This may or may not go as planned.
Whisks & Whiskers Cat Cafe may have some competition. Tea-Bone Dog Cafe has opened next door. There is a bit of feud between the dog people and the cat people. Erin , owner of Whisk & Whiskers, is beside herself and doing her best to succeed next door to them. Then the plot thickens when , Harvey Rafferty, Tea-bone dog cafe’s owner, drops dead from an apparant poisoning. The cops are on the case to find Harvey’s killer. As with the author’s other books, she takes the reader through some twists and turns with plenty of suspects until the killer is revealed.
I loved this book. I loved catching up with Hadley and her love life and her sense of adventure. There may also be a romance brewing between Aunt Deb and Detective Sanders. Hadley’s cousiin, Michael might also have a romance going on.
This is a book of murder, mystery, competition, revenge, love and romance.
