Nutty, the Maine Coon Cat
Duncan & Scruffy dogs
Plus more fur babies throughout the story
I've just started this one Toasted Almond & Murder: An Oceanside Cozy Mystery - Book 17I'm caught up on the Black Cat Cafe series. I've enjoyed both series.
Have you read the Donut Hole series (60 books) that preceded the Oceanside series? Another series I've totally enjoyed is the Frosted Love (32 books), that moved on to the INNcredibly Sweet series (15), that has evolved into the Cupcakes in Paradise series (8 books). I just finished the INNcredibly Sweet series, so I'm 8 behind with this "epic series". I did a whole lot of binge reading last year :)

You're quite welcome!!
Other series I really enjoy is Sky High Pie, The Darling Deli, and Papa Pacelli's Pizza. Actually I have several more, but I'll stop now :)

You do a nice job on your reviews, Carol. I enjoy the Gaslight Mysteries too, although I haven't read this far in the series.
