This is Book 1 of The 'We Sit Pets' Series was so funny and a proper cosy read.

We follow Monica, having given up her grad scheme position in a finance firm and ends up teaming with her brother Paddy in the dog walking business.

Of course, Monica being Monica goes all in and essentially becomes a dog walking agency... with hilarious dog antics , strange walkers, and Boot Camp Dan. I filly expected this to get crazy!

The 'Winkle' episode nearly ended me, and of course, there's more crammed in there 😆.

Then a murd3r happens... death by dumbell to be exact... I shouldn't have laughed, but it was very poetic given the very rude and social media 'star'!

I love Monica she is such a fabulous character. In fact, all the Walkers are brilliant and so different... from an ex Librarian to a wannabe Comedian who isn't all that funny. It's a brilliant mix in the agency, and the character relationships and overall dymanics were great.

This book is funny and even though it's a murder mystery, it's a lovely cosy book with lots of laughs along the way as you (along with Monica) try and work out who the kill3r is.

Will Monica clear her name? You'll have to read the book to find out.
