This was the perfect blend of paranormal and cosy mystery storytelling. Nothing was overdone - the humour, the romance, the supernatural elements were all part of the perfect recipe for a really fun read. Renee George has a great start to an entertaining series on her hands.

Nice cozy mystery with a shifter heroine who tries to live among humans. Her backstory is pretty grim for a cozy.
Apparently this book is part of an existing world, and other stories by the author came before this series.
The mystery was interesting enough, the listen short and sweet. There is enough stuff going on for one or more sequels.
Two dogs play an important role, and we get to meet a lot of people, all of whom have reasons for wanting the murder victim dead.

Aww, a cute cozy mystery. I picked this novel randomly because of the smiley pit bull on the cover.
Nooo, I wasn't born a pit bull lover, a dog lover yes. I'm scared of them like most people are until one very skinny and mangy girl came into my life. She was left on the side of a road in freezing temperature. Unaware that she was abandoned by the owner, my boyfriend and I posted "found dog" all over the internet. Months past and no one came forward. We reluctantly kept her with fear that the shelter will put her down. That's her on my profile picture, Coco.

Lily leaves her hometown and moves to Missouri.
She is a were-cougar but that doesn't really come into the story at all.
The town's shrew has been murdered and it seems that everyone has a motive but the body was found in Parker's yard and for the police chief that's enough to close the case and throw him into jail.
Lily investigates.
That's about it. It's a moderately entertaining cozy that offers hints at something more but never delivers.
