This has got to be one of the best cozy mysteries I have read in awhile. Eve is a busy momma with three kids and a husband. I know from experience that if you have a child in sports, you are active. Not to mention that one is on the verge of being a teenager and testing his boundaries. A husband that would be lost without you and a house to run, I can definitely sympathize with Eve, but she does it with joy and an innate sense of humor.

She follows Janet from the bank, very unlike Eve to follow someone she hardly knows, but it bothers her that Janet was acting weird at the bank, not to mention leaving the gas tank door open. Thankfully, Eve is a quick thinker, and when she sees another car approach Janet's, she reverses into cornfield to hide. Unfortunate for Eve, she sees Janet get gunned down.

The police believe it is a drug deal gone back, but Eve doesn't buy it. In fact, she takes it upon herself to do her own investigation. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more danger that surrounds Eve's life.

With clever writing, strong key plot points and twists, If Errands Could Kill is a superb start to a new series. The characters are well-rounded and I look forward to getting to know them a bit better in the next installment. If you enjoy cozy mysteries, you won't want to miss this one!
