Patti S. (Pattakins) reviewed on 9/13/2011 + 365 more book reviews

This is the first book in the series. It was different in that you knew who the killer was from the start. I prefer to find out in the end, but I still liked it. The characters seemed a bit more real than some cozies. Louise and her family move to upper Virginia, and when she wants to fill a low spot in the woods behind her house, she starts gathering the neighbor's raked up and bagged leaves to use as mulch for the spot. While emptying the bags, she and her family find parts of a body mixed into some of them. The killer knows it was her that took them, and so goes the story. I have read other books in this series, and I have to say that they do get better, although this one was OK.
