Rating:
Holly is an everyday woman; she has had her heart broken and given up on romance, but no matter what she does, she finds herself smiling as her guests and their pets get matched with unlikely partners, yet many find a way to make the match work. She has no desire to try her hand at the matchmaking event, but her grandmother and the event planner have other ideas. She is paired with John Adele, and the attraction is almost instant.
Oma is a wonderful, caring, loving grandmother that likes to interfere with her granddaughter’s life. She is spunky and filled with surprises. It is no wonder that she easily becomes a favorite character. When she pretends to lose her memory after Holly confronts her about setting her up with the matchmaking is one of the funniest scenes in the story and makes the reader grin. The pets in this story are equally as spunky and loveable as Oma.
Holly finding yet another body and becoming the number one suspect leads to twists and turns that keep the reader turning the page. Her guests and their pets play a major role in solving the crime. There is never a dull moment, and as the murderer is revealed, many will be surprised and delighted.
