I used to think mystery shopping would be fun--thanks to this book, I certainly see some drawbacks to the occupation. The characters are funny and appealing, so I am quite glad this is the first of a series. Unlike some cozy series however, these won't be "keeper" material, simply because the shopping tips are mainly common sense (as opposed to culinary or craft mysteries that are often kept for the recipes or directions).

I will certainly follow Josie's exploits, but am just as interested in her mother Jane and hope the plotline begun about her was not just incidental. Perhaps because I am getting older myself, I find retirees make interesting subject matter...
