This was an enjoyable cozy mystery with a hint of romance. I love Jen and Cletus and it was just enjoyable to be back in their heads. The book does a good job of balancing the mystery, comedic parts, as well as the romance. If you like any of the three, or all three, you'll get a good dose of all of it. Cozy mysteries aren't really my thing, but this one does the job and is entertaining. I don't think this is a genre I'll necessarily go out of my way to reach for, but for anyone looking for a new cozy mystery, this isn't a bad place to start.
