This is an enjoyable beginning to a cozy mystery series. Although Dyce and I don't see eye to eye about taking a paint brush to a piece of furniture, I did learn several good tips about furniture refinishing, and I loved her irreverent sense of humor. Another part of her charm for me was Dyce's ability to look at a piece of furniture and see its potential. It's the sort of ability that anyone who's decorated a house on the cheap can appreciate, and it bodes well for future mystery-inducing finds for her store.

Hyatt has a different take on parents who have a bookstore background, and between family, former spouses, and friends, there's quite the support group to help her in future investigations. I found the plot to be a bit weak, but the characterization and writing style are winners, and I look forward to reading more in the series.
