What readers say
Readers love the premise of these Florida cozies: a granddaughter and her grandmother, former motorcycle gang members, hiding in witness protection in a sleepy retirement town. Fans praise the laugh-out-loud humor, the feisty grandmother, the quirky neighbors and the easy, light tone, and many compare the series to Janet Evanovich. The most common criticism is repetition, with later books rehashing details from earlier ones. Some also find the mysteries predictable, mention editing errors, or feel the humor doesn't quite match the comparison.
Best for: Readers who want laugh-out-loud cozies with a wisecracking grandmother-granddaughter team.
