Wish You Were Here, by Rita Mae Brown
3.0
3.5⭐I've heard of this popular series and have been wanting to read it. There are thirty books and that's kind of intimidating to jump in but thanks to The Mystery, Crime, and Thriller Group pick for February BOTM, I find this to be a perfect opportunity to check it out.
This is a great start to a new series set in Crozet Virginia, a town of three thousand near Charlottesville. I saw a cat on the cover and to my surprise, she's Mrs. Murphy! Mary Minor Haristeen, or Harry, the town's postmistress is her "mom" and there's Tee Tucker, a Welsh Corgi. The animals can talk to one another and they curse (a lot) which surprise me to see that in a cozy. They help Harry solve crimes or get her out of dangerous situations.
The mystery is light and enjoyable. Harry has a habit of reading other people's postcards while at work when she realizes every recipient who received one with "Wish you were here" ends up dead. I'll be reading more from this series. I find the characters, setting, and animals quite charming.
