I didn’t know this audiobook was part of a book series. Which ended up being good because I didn’t read the first one, obviously. You do not have to read the first book to catch on to the characters. I don’t know if all of the characters are in this book are in the first book. Nevertheless, the characters in this book were lovable and funny. It was a fun, “who done” happy mystery book. I hope there is another one coming to print. Mild mention of sex. No swearing.
