Helpful Score: 4

This book is the first of a series featuring a veterinarian, Dr. Jessica Popper. That was part of the draw as I'm an animal lover. Dr. Popper is a good veterinarian, loves her patients, etc. and so should be a likeable protagonist. However, she is not very clever about people, so an unlikeable amateur detective. She has a very nice boyfriend that she loves, but doesn't want to admit it and who she treats very badly -- his major fault being that he loves her and wants to marry her. And she needs him, as a Watson figure, backup when she makes stupid mistakes in her amateurish investigation of the death of a sleazy public relations man.
So, the bottom line is that this is a chicklit cozy, and not a type of book I most enjoy. I won't be seeking out others in the series but know that some people enjoy this type of book and if you do, then you might like this one too.
