3.0

Whilst I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as the first book in the series, I did find it very easy to read, and I felt it got better as it went along.  I think the problem for me was that the solving of the initial crime seemed to be just a bit strung out.  But around half way through, the pace picked up and the ladies were out and about investigating together more, and I enjoyed that part of the story much more than the start.
I've somehow missed the second book in the series, but it didn't matter too much.  I think you could even read this one as a standalone, but it is nicer to know a bit more about the characters and where they're all coming from.
And for any dog lovers, don't worry - no dogs are harmed in the making of this story!

This is book 3 of the Charity Shop Detective Agency mysteries featuring Fiona, Sue, and Daisy. While this was my first introduction to the characters, it was easy to find them interesting and likeable. I think that I would have benefitted from reading at least the first book in the series to know the characters and references better, and I would recommend that to others as well. It is also important to note that none of the dogs were harmed throughout this book! 

Thank you to NetGalley for the book!
