Review:
Weeee a short murder mystery! And a recipe at the end? Sure!!!
Mercy is a lonely widow who is trying to find some sort of routine after her husband passed a couple of years ago. When a lost dog comes up to her, she vows to find its owner. However, she finds out that the owner was murdered and now Mercy is in the crosshairs of a killer. She tries to work with the local detective who is in charge of the case, but he is grumpy and won't listen to her.
Dawwwwwwwe this was cute. Yes, I'm aware "cute" is not a great word for a murder mystery, but it really fits in this case. Peaches the dog was adorable and I loved Mercy. I would love more stories of Mercy and Peaches. Doesn't have to be ALL murder mysteries, but they are an epic duo.
The whodunit was fun. I had my guess (which I was partially right) but I didn't see the twist! Nice!
The ending was good. I loved the connection and now I want more. Wah!
All-in-all, this was a perfect little number for the holiday season. Cute duo....nice twists....and a grumpy detective. Love it.
5 stars from me.

This sounds really good and impressive if they can pull it off successfully in a novella. I highly recommend The Most WOnderful Crime of the Year by Ally Carter - it was sooooo good!
Impressive that one this short could do the development to make a good story.
