3.0
I was gifted a copy of this book, for which I thank the author (or in this case author(s) but I mean Fiona Quinn :-). I normally read her romantic suspense books which I love, so this is something completely different. But I heard this book was written with tongue-in-cheek so I will review it as such.
BJ is only 22 and in charge of Hooch, a bar in dire need of some new clientele. She is a badge bunny, which means she loves the men in blue and shiny badges. Which I can understand (gimme a yummy cop every day!) but as I am a romantic it was not exactly what I wanted to read about. We have Peter, the current one; Dick, who she let go because he became a detective and Connor, who is out of bounds because he has a girlfriend (and Kay's brother). During one of her trysts with Peter they find a mannequin in the park. BJ and her BFF Kay take the mannequin back to the bar and use 'Daphne' for some social media activities. Soon the doll attracts enough attention and BJ and Kay are trying to solve the mystery of the mannequin.
This was a very fast read and I liked BJ and Kay. I was a bit overwhelmed by all the characters and keeping up with the names but the story as such was easy to follow. I loved the dog! The ending was a bit abrupt, but it ends on a good note and no cliffhanger.
Overall a very good start to a new series. The first book in a (mystery/cozy) series is always a bit harder because of the information you have to ingest. I am curious as to where the series will lead.
