Review:
Sometimes all I want from a cozy mystery is a charming setting, a likable cast of characters, and an entertaining mystery that makes for a quick, relaxing read. A Doggone Waterfront Shame delivered exactly that! This was such a cute, easygoing start to a new series, and I had a fun time getting acquainted with Megan, the town of Seacrest, and, of course, Fred the dog!
Megan is ready for a fresh start, and opening a scooter rental shop along the waterfront seems like the perfect opportunity for a new chapter in her life. I loved the small town setting and thought the scooter shop was such a unique and quirky addition! It’s not your typical cozy mystery business, which made it especially fun. Seacrest has that welcoming, close knit community atmosphere that I always enjoy in a cozy, with an interesting assortment of locals and plenty of potential for future adventures.
The mystery itself was entertaining and kept things moving at a nice pace. With a murder shaking up the community and plenty of suspicious characters to consider, Megan finds herself caught up in quite a bit more excitement than she anticipated. I enjoyed following the clues alongside her, and the mystery provided just enough intrigue without taking away from the overall lighthearted feel of the book.
Overall, A Doggone Waterfront Shame was a cute, breezy, and enjoyable read. It’s the kind of cozy you can settle into when you’re in the mood for something light and uncomplicated, with a fun mystery and an adorable canine companion. A charming introduction to Seacrest and a promising start to the Megan Henny Cozy Mysteries series!
Overall rating: 4/5
