Bad To The Bone
by Linda O. Johnston
The premise of this storyline is cute. I loved all the pets and their owners who frequent Barkery & Biscuits and Carrie has endeared herself to the townspeople.
~Cinnamon, Sugar, and a Little Bit of Murder
I enjoyed the book. I enjoyed getting to know the characters.
~The Journey Back
This book is a great example as to why I have a newfound love for cozy mysteries…This was a really fun yet mysterious and a little romantic read…
~Rainy Day Reviews
The story was good and I’m glad we got to know more about Carrie and Reed’s relationship. I wonder if there will be wedding bells soon for these two?
~Texas Book-aholic
Definitely kept me engaged until the mystery was solved which was great totally wasn’t expecting who the murderer turned out to be or why. Definitely a paw above the rest.
~Community Bookstop
As usual, the dogs add a much needed lighter and cuddly element to this cozy series.
~Laura’s Interests
I really liked Carrie she was a fun character and when a book is told from the first person, that character has to be fun.
~A Chick Who Reads
There were many twists and turns in this book that kept it really interesting, and since I am a dog lover, reading about all the wonderful dogs was a huge plus.
~Melina’s Book Blog
Overall, Linda hit this one out of the park. It was delightfully catty in some spots, and Carrie was the perfect sleuth in this case.
