Curiosity Killed the Cat Sitter (Dixie Hemingway Mysteries, #1)

Dixie Hemingway (no relation) was a deputy with Sarasota County's Sheriff's Department in southwest Florida. After a tragic accident she has problems dealing with people so she leaves the Sheriff's Department and starts a business pet-sitting on Siesta Key. She takes her job seriously but also realises that her life needs something else.

That something else is probably not a dead body at one of her jobs. Drowned in a cat's water bowl she finds herself a suspect and being chased by some unsavory characters.

It's a cosy mystery, you don't really expect much but this one was quite interesting in itself. I did guess the murderer but the red herrings kept me questioning my guess which made it all the more enjoyable. I look forward to more in this series.
