Review:

This is the 2nd book in the Tess & Tilly series and I liked it even batter than the first one.

If you read the first book, The Christmas Story, then you are already familiar with Tess and know that she is mail carrier and seems to always be in the middle of some sort of mystery. This book isn’t any different. Once again, Tess finds herself in the middle of a mystery. There are a couple of side mysteries in this one

Tilly witnesses an accident and stops to help. She sees the first car and a man is stuck inside so she helps him get out. They see anther car down the embakement so they both go down there to get the man out. The first man, who we now know his name is Coby, gives the man CPR while Tess calls 911. The EMTs get there and take the man to the hospital but he is dead. He supposedly had a heart attack that caused the accident. But is everything as it seems!!

Once Tess talks to Cody, she finds out that he is in town to look for his biological mom, According to him his bio mom left him at a church right after he was born and all he has from her is a picture from when she was pregnant. Naturally Tess wants to help him find his bio mom so with the help of her friend Tony they do some research to track her down.

Whilel she is help Coby find his bio mom she is also involved in another mystery involving her dad who has been dead about 13 years at this point. But is he really dead or he is he living a secret life somewhere. We will have to keep reading to find this out.

Also Tess’ mom has a new young boyfriend that Tess is suspicious of. Tess has her friend, tony, run a background check on him and he seems to check out fine, but does he really? Hmmmm another mystery!

This story takes some twist and turns while they search for this mystery woman. Do they find her? What really happened? You will have to read it to find out.

I think you will love this story while you fall in love with Tess and the other characters in the book I especially love her kids (as she likes to call her dog and cats)

This is the first book in the Tess & Tilly Cozy mystery series by Kathy Daley.

This is a great little read. Tilly is a mail carrier and along with her dog Tilly, oshe meets interesting people along her mail route. But when she was delivering a letter to Pike, who happens to be the oldest living resident of White Eagle, she finds him dead on the floor of his bedroom.

To top that off, her ex and now her best friend’s boyfriend, Donny, is arrested for the crime.

Her best friend Bree, is convinced that Donny didn’t do it. Tilly’s brother, Mike, works for the police department and the evidence he has is pointing right to Donnie, so Tilly is starting to believe he did it.

Bree convinces Tilly to help her prove that Donny is innocent. Tilly begrudgingly agrees even though she is afraid it will turn out that Donnie did it.

With the help of her friend Tony, who is the smartest person she knows and whiz at technology helps her find who killed Pike.

And then there is also a sexy new Vet in town. You will just need to read the book to find out more.

This is fun read and I really enjoyed it.
