3 stars. Such a fun and light read. I enjoyed it. I will say though that as great of a character that Casey was she wasn’t that great of a PI. She was way too naive and trusting. She went into situations with no plans and it was so frustrating. She solves the case in the end but I was annoyed with how she went about certain things.
Other than that this was funny and the characters were a bit wacky which was entertaining. I also enjoyed the budding romance between Casey and Emily. They were adorable together. I’m surprised that this is a stand alone as I could totally see this being the start to a new series but as it is it was a very enjoyable read.

This cozy little mystery was actually quite delightful. And it also offered a cute, definitely-no-insta-love-here romance, too.
Casey Cook never knew what she wanted to do when she grew up, but she knew university wasn't it. It's how she ended up working at Walmart full-time until a hobby of finding missing pets turned into her getting a PI licence. The only problem is she doesn't have any clients and not a particularly large network for word-of-mouth referrals. But she finally gets the a call about a case about (yup, you guessed it) a missing comatose woman. It's not the ideal first case and the police aren't even actively working on it anymore, but Casey's not in the position to turn down work.
Meanwhile, her dating life is a disaster and she's oblivious to the fact that the cute waitress at her local coffee shop is always trying to hold an actual conversation with her.
This is a cozy mystery, so the stakes are fairly low, but that's not to say that it wasn't interesting or that I had ever really had it all figured out. It was quite a fun ride. And I definitely want to read the next book in the series.
