This is a wryly humorous cozy mystery with an appealing and relatable protagonist, a private investigator. She's hired to investigate if the elderly sister of her client is being robbed by caregivers in her home. The case is complicated by the sudden very unexpected death of one of the carers in question.
This is a very well written series, and the author is wonderfully adept at clever plotting and comedic timing. It works well enough as a standalone, but as the third book in a continuing series, some spoilers should be expected for earlier books if read out of order.
Four stars. It's would be a good choice for public library acquisition, or a binge/buddy read.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes
