This is the 5th in the series that I have read. The series has been a fun summer read. I recommend taking a couple days and reading one of Helen's adventures.

I was a little disappointed in this book for reasons I'm not sure about. Normally when I start a Dead End Job book I can't put it down but I could put this one down. It was still good, just missing something.

Who knew that working at a pampered pets boutique could be so dangerous? Helen, of course! She has a knack for getting in the middle of things. Staying off the radar of law enforcement gets more difficult with each book in this series but so far, so good.

My favourite in the Dead End Jobs series so far & the 5th that I've read in a row (yay kindle). Great twists & turns in the plot, fun characters (as ever) - there's something very comforting about returning to the Coronado.

Another good instalment in the cozy series of Dead End Job Mysteries. It was well paced except for the last 6 or so chapters. There are two murders. One is that of an ageing trophy wife, the other of an owner of a million making dog for advertising.
I'm very laid back with cozies and give them all the benefit of the doubt. When that is denied to our heroine, Helen Hawthorne, she makes it her business to find out the murderers. That is the logic behind her escapades.
Frankly it was fun just going along with her adventures. Forget the fine points of the plot. Just go along with the ride. This book can be read as a standalone. I didn't buy the ending's tone. Too artistically starving for recognition in the eyes of readers. That's it.

If I wasn't so interested in the characters, I'd probably give up on this series. As it was, I skipped a few chapters through the boring rehashing of prior storylines and endless speculation.
