What do the critics say?
“Faithful fans already familiar with the characters will enjoy the cozy antics, but others may struggle to pay attention until people start dying.”- Publishers Weekly
“Heavy-handed dialogue intended more to deliver a message than move along the plot or develop the characters drags this one down. For dedicated series fans only.” - Booklist
“While many of the human characters seem interchangeable in their combination of down-home folksiness and tribal-elder gravitas, her animals are witty as ever.” -Published in Kirkus Reviews
