Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

Harder edge mystery for a cozy-type book. Language and content are more graphic.  While the book and the plot were fine, for me, I did not quite connect to the characters- so will probably not be reading more of Jessie Chandler’s books. However, if you are looking for a hard-boiled cozy- this could be it.
