A Gala Event by Sheila Connolly

4.0

I'm giving this book an extra star because it has Alpacas on the cover. I broke my cardinal rule and didn't read these in order. Full disclosure: I only bought it because it has Alpacas on the cover. I like cozy mysteries but I feel that I missed a lot with this one. The characters were already very developed - which means Ms. Connolly knows what she's doing! - so this was hard to get into. The side plots were good though as well, the baby, the renovations, etc. The mystery of a long ago crime was interesting too, but didn't hold my interest as much as some of the other mysteries I've read. I will be keeping this book though - and it'll live on my llama shellves!
