Description: Roses are red, Violets are blue, and Olivia Rickard is officially the worst at fixing relationships. Case in point: Olivia decides the best way to go about getting her boyfriend back is to tail him around town. There’s no way daring to spy on Andrew’s date was going to end well...but Olivia didn’t expect it to end in death. 

Hannah Maclin, Andrew’s date, is found dead in the parking lot of the restaurant with a tacky rose sticking out of her chest and lots of suspects near the scene of the crime. Hannah wasn’t a well loved woman and she’s got a long list of enemies and haters that the police believe includes Andrew. While Olivia thinks this is preposterous, it’s given her a reason to go sleuthing again. Before she can fix her love life she has to make sure the man she loves stays out of jail! 

As Olivia dives into a two part mystery of solving a murder and tracking her ex-boyfriend’s puzzling movements, she finds that the two investigations weave together in the old secrets and hidden passions of the town. Her mission becomes finding the truth in the misinformation, but Olivia will need to be careful—she can’t miss a clue or she’ll lose the love of her life.

Hello.

I must admit that I seem to have a weak spot for mysteries, especially ones of the cozy mystery variety. They are often fun to read. They have become ones that I turn to when under a lot of stress or needing a break from life. 

I did not realize going into this one that it was the fourth book in the Happy Tails Dog Walking Mysteries Series. Thankfully, it could be read alone. There were some references from previous books but they did not detract from the overall story. This was an enjoyable book. 

Thank you NetGalley and Relay Publishing for giving me an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. I am rating this book Four Red Books because it was predictable at times. I do wonder if my experience would have been more filling if I had read the three prior volumes. It was a very cute read and I would recommend it to other cozy mystery lovers.
