The book is fine. Light, fast, predictable. But where the heck did that title come from? Nobody- and no body - buried any where or any time in this one... Why not something to do with a dog and/or dog show???

I am so sad! This is the last book, to date. How am I going to have closure while I wait for her next Hat Shop Mystery??
I loved this one! There was more of Alistair, there was Rugby, fewer silly puns, adorable puppies, entertaining Nick and Andre-isms, cheesy goo goo eyes, and of course a good murder.

Another great read from Jenn. I love all of the usual characters because they are what makes this series so good. I love how Aunt Betty was able to fit in with the story like a regular. I hope there’s a next book to continue on this journey.

Wonderful addition to the Hat Shop series! Based around a dog show, which was a great idea, Scarlett has found herself trying to fit the puzzle pieces together with her bluffing detective skills. Such a fun read. I’m glad Alistair is still around- I enjoy his addition to the group. Also, I need more books in this series- hopefully with a wedding! (Or two!

I received a digital ARC of this title for an honest review.

Scarlett is happily contemplating married life to her fiance, Harry, when he brings his favorite aunt Betty to meet her. And Betty brings her adorable corgi, Freddy. But when Betty is kept out of the dog show she just knows Freddy is finally going to win, Scarlett finds herself in the middle of a dog show as well as another murder investigation. And Aunt Betty is the prime suspect!

I love all of McKinlay's mystery series' and Buried to the Brim is no exception. I love how the characters are all silly without being over the top and the mystery is always going to keep you guessing up to the last minute.
