Left Fur Dead (Jules & Bun Mystery, #1)

by J.M. Griffin

On Fur Bridge Farm, Jules cares for rescued rabbits. But when a killer strikes, she'll need a rabbit to rescue her . . .
 
Juliette “Jules” Bridge prides herself on the tender rehabilitation she provides for injured or abused rabbits on her New Hampshire rescue farm, but she has a very special relationship with one bunny in particular. Bun is a black-and-white rabbit who happens to have the ability to communicate through mental telepathy. Once she got over the shock, Jules found her furry friend had a lot to say.
 
One frigid March morning on their walk together, Bun spots a body. The police identify the frozen stiff as Arthur Freeman, aka Arty the Mime. Jules and Arty knew each other on the children's party circuit, where he’d perform magic tricks and she had an educational rabbit petting pen. With Bun egging her on, Jules decides it’s time they hop to it and put their heads together to discover who silenced the mime. But their investigation leads them down a rabbit hole of more suspects and lies, while a killer sets a trap for them . . .

DNF

I don't know if it's just me or if it was the book, but I just couldn't finish it. It was super cute and I was looking forward to it, but there was so much stuff crammed into the first few chapters in the book that had no context that had me wondering if I'd missed an earlier book but no....it was a confusing way to start off a debut book in a new series. I think it would've been a better if they started the series at the beginning instead of reeling off a bunch of past events that may or may not be related to the current plot (I don't know if it was, I didn't make it that far into it.) Also, I think there was too much going on, the mime murder would've been a fine plot, the bunny saboteur would've been a fine plot, but having them both in the same book made it too cumbersome and felt disjointed.

I'll set it aside for now and maybe I'll pick it up again later but yeah...no..not any time soon.
