I loved the characters from this book. Cinnamon is a nicely rounded out heroine, some comedy, some tragedy, some kindness and some meanness. She comes across as someone you would like to meet. That she preferred a drunken ex boyfriend to a squeaky clean doctor is part of her charm. The mystery was scary enough to keep you interested, but mild enough to stay a "cozy." I liked the dog. He was a vehicle through out the story ... catching her interest as a stray, leading her to the body, and a sympathetic pooch. The epilogue written in the dog's voice seemed a little weird to me. Overall, loved the book and will read the next one in her series.
