After reading several heavy books, I was ready for some light reading so I stared exploring the series by Fiona Grace. They all feature women starting over on a whim living abroad. The main character in this one is a vet who has bought a house for a dollar in Sicily and is now starting a vet practice in a small town with the support of the local council. Although there is one council member who is not so supportive, and when she turns up dead, our heroine comes under suspicion, so of course she
Loved it!
DNFI read the first in this series and enjoyed it. However, I quickly decided this one is not for me. The main character is starting her vet business in Sicily and is faced with an overly nasty council woman who begins to harass her about here pet fox and her duty to euthanize stray animals. The character is so overwhelmingly mean, I could not waste my time reading about this. Maybe it has a happy ending and Dr. Audrey brings her around and saves all the strays in Sicily, but I was too turned of...
The second book in the series has Dr. Audrey Smart running herself ragged with her new clinic, rescuing strays and continuing to renovate her villa. Things are looking a bit dire when a mean-spirited council woman tries to levy a tax on strays and adoptions. Another murder and investigation are next for Audrey along with her increasing interest in Mason. This underdog character is sweet and her adventures in Sicily entertaining. This is a quick and fun read.
So many similarities to the other series I read/listen from this author. Stray animal sidekick, beginning a new business in a new place, absent father (leaving family when protagonist is young), multiple potential love interests and murder.Very formulaic, but easily to listen to.
Things seem to be going from bad to worse for Audrey when she opens her vet clinic. This was mainly due to a pushy council woman who has it out for her and the animals. Despite everything she is determined to make it a success that is until she finds herself embroiled in another murder.This is the second edition of the Cat and Dog Cozy Mystery series and I think it is even better than the first. Set in a scenic small town in Sicily, the engaging characters and interesting mystery make for a grea...
Not as much description of Audrey's new $1 home in #2 but still loved this one. Here we see the miracle she performs in setting up a new clinic/shelter in a few days.A witch of a councilwoman is trying to set up a new tax on collecting strays. When she is killed, some of her supporters still want to impose the new tax in her memory.Audrey is becoming very comfortable with her new friend, carpenter Mason, but G the restaurant owner is still very interested. Audrey is still acting like a teenager
High Heels & Jogging SuitsThat woman should have been killed just for her style. Another murder in Audrey's new home town. Once again, poor Audrey is a suspect. But this time it seems as though everyone else in town had a motive. Thank goodness for dogs! The dog is the real hero.
Another fun murder mystery. When the town meddling council woman is found dead on an isolated part of the beach, then Audrey is suspected of murder again. She was mean and lots of people had reason to kill her. Mason becomes a friend indeed; and the lovable huge dog goes with Mason once the true killer (by accident) is found.
I love this series. I was in Sicily and I can relate to all the Italian references in the book. Audrey is a great character, proving that you can survive even if you don't speak the language. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
This series is cute and fun, not Great Literature but a good mindless listen. The mystery is the weakest part of the book. The main character shows growth and while the renovation takes a back seat, the animal clinic is a good addition.
