Fun for all, with a cute budding romance, some odd and endearing characters, and a mystery that’s not easily solved, I recommend this to all cozy fans.

Ms. Pauling did a wonderful job of writing an intriguing and engaging mystery, which led to a surprise ending.
~Lisa K’s Book Reviews
I never guessed who the killer was. I was a bit surprised at one twist with the reveal..but you will have to read the book to find out more about that.
~Storeybook Reviews
I really enjoyed Footprints in the Frosting – in fact I read it in an afternoon.
~Kaisy Daisy’s Corner
It is fun, light cozy mystery. I like the characters and want to see more of them and see them grow.
~readalot
This is a quick read, just right for the beach. Characters are interesting and easy to keep straight – my favorite is crazy Charlene and her conniving ways of helping with the mystery and matchmaking.

A comedic cozy in a small town setting, Footprints in the Frosting by Laura Pauling is full of colorful characters, a cute little “crime hound” and plenty of laughs. The first book in a new series, Footprints in Frosting is lighthearted and the perfect beginning for the Holly Hart character.
~Queen of All She Reads
This short story had me guessing to the very end. It had several laugh-out-loud moments in it too, Holly sure can make things interesting.

What a fun debut to the Holly Hart Cozy mystery series.
~Melissa’s Mochas, Mysteries and Meows
Footprints in the Frosting is a fun and light summer beach read that will brighten your mood and keep you entertained. I hope the people around you don’t think you’re crazy when you break out in laughter.

Cheesecake, Love, and Murder!
It’s the Grand Opening for Holly Hart’s new business, Just Cheesecake. When footprints in the frosting lead to a body facedown in one of her cheesecakes, Holly becomes a prime suspect.
With her opening day delayed, Holly deals with a nosy no-good reporter and the local cop, the handsome Officer Trinket, as she puts her sleuthing skills to the test to save her business and her name. With the help of her dog, Muffins, she needs to find the real murderer, before the killer looks to frost someone else.
