Thank you to NetGalley and publisher Allison & Busby for an advance copy introducing me to this charming series.
Even thought it was my first time following ‘Domestic Goddess’, dog walker and antique store owner, Juno, I was able to get drawn into her world quite easily. Details of the countryside, the description of a meeting with homeless man and his dog living rough, the efforts to help an elderly woman to remain at home as opposed to a care home, and many more really served to give a sense of place to both the story and a window into Juno’s personality and big heart. That big heart drew her into helping a friend being hunted by a criminal gang, I enjoyed the way the story wove different plots together.
I definitely recommend the book to those who enjoy mysteries that has relatable characters in a beautiful part of the world, I’m looking forward to starting with book 1 now!

I love this series and this one was as good as the others. It was such a a treat to be back with all the characters with some new ones too. These books are so easy and such good mysteries that I read them very quickly. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

This book was gripping and hard to put down. It didn't feel like everything else you see out there, it felt very fresh. I really enjoyed this book!

Thank you Netgalley for a chance to read this book!

I did not realize prior to starting this book that it was part of a series. Had I known that, I likely would’ve read the books in order, because that’s how my brain works. With this series, it is not necessary to do so. I was able to understand the storyline and distinguish between different characters . A huge bonus.

It felt like I knew the characters Juno and Maisie. I am going to go back and read the first book in the series!

Thank you for the chance to read this ARC in return for my honest opinion

I have read the first 4 books in the series and jumped at the chance to read this one.

I did feel however feel that I had missed some important facts about Juno and her friends lives by missing the intervening books - though if this was the first one you picked up then it would be easy to follow the narrative.

As always the books are well written, the author cleverly managed to weave two stories together but you didn't feel they were disparate entities.
It was certainly thought provoking in it's content.
I hope there will be more in the series to come.

I enjoyed this book quite a lot. Big hearted Juno is pulled in all directions covering her shifts at her antique store as well as her “domestic goddess” and dog walking duties. Of course her detective skills come into play when friend Elizabeth starts getting menacing threats and visits associated with her dead husband’s gambling debts. Coincidentally a visitor to friends Ricky and Morris ties in to Elizabeth’s problems. As usual Juno leaps in and gets into quite a few tight situations, but it all comes right in the end, especially when a long waited acquaintance appears in the nick of time.
A typical cosy, easy to recommend, no sex or language to offend. No graphic details.
A good series that continues to please, it’s not necessary to read in order, but some things might make more sense if you do so. Thank you to NetGalley, and Allison & Busby for the advance digital copy. I enjoyed it very much.

The latest in the Juno Browne series was one of my favorites. Juno yet again gets tied up in a murder mystery while trying to help a friend. This time the mystery involves organized crime, the theater, and eventually a one regular character who has largely been absent from the last couple of books. The mystery is well-written as usual, with updates on some of the regular characters and a potentially big change for Juno. The ending is more resolved than some in the series, although there is still some uncertainty that will have me anxiously awaiting the next entry. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy. All views are entirely my own.

Unfortunately, the file was a pdf which I can't read on my e-reader. So I have been unable to review this book.
