This was the first in a series "new to me". I think I'll enjoy it. Gotta love that she's a vet and takes in the most precious pets who need the most love possible.
Extremely easy cozy mystery to solve. But very flimsy reason for Jess to be involved.

A delightful trip with a local vet. Great viewpoint if you have pets or are an animal lover. Would read this series again.
"Romance, like the rabbit at the dog track, is the elusive, fake, and never attained reward which, for the benefit and amusement of our masters, keeps us running and thinking in safe circles." - Beverly Jones
I liked that the author had cool quotes like this at the beginning of each chapter, but this was a pretty mediocre mystery. I know it's bad when I can figure out who the killer is.

Just wasn't crazy about this one. I didn't really connect with the main character and her romantic reservations. The mystery wasn't that interesting. And I never understood who killed the canary.
More like 3.5* This was a fast, enjoyable read. I was on my toes for the whole book. I loved the idea of Jessica owning a mobile vet service. I also liked the idea of her actually getting a PR guy and an accountant even though both ideas were just so she could hunt for info on spspects. I liked Jimmy, but distrusted him too. I kept wondering if he was bad since he was so nice. I did not even pick up on the bird repeating Jimmy's favorite phrase! I'm not sure how I feel about Nick, their relationship was too contentious for the majority of this book for me to decide. I should not have been surprised that the lead detective was in on the kickback scheme, but I was. I am definitely interested in reading more in this series.
Ok so Dr Popper may be a bit naive in this lighthearted mystery, but I think the plot, story, and characters were well written and not overly described. I’m an avid true crime reader and decided to give this a try to mix it up a little and I’m excited to finish the Reigning Cats and Dogs series. It was cute, well written and a page turner for me, unlike Dr. Popper, I had the mystery figured out 3/4 of the way through... but I kept on reading as I really enjoyed it, and wanted to make sure my suspicions were accurate. This book was a nice change in scenery for me.
Cute, easy reading for the mystery fan and animal lover alike.
