It's summer time and I am ready to start the book kick off with a cozy mystery.
This super cute cover alone got me excited but the story is really great as well. From the back: Looking for a fresh start, advice columnist Sissy Yoder heads to small-town Yoder, Kansas, to help in her aunt’s café. But when a milkman is murdered, the newcomer becomes the prime suspect .
After Sissy’s rodeo cowboy boyfriend turns out to be more of a rodeo clown, she packs a bag; picks up her Yorkshire terrier Duke; and leaves Tulsa, Oklahoma, bound for her parents’ former hometown. There are still plenty of Yoders in Yoder, Kansas, including Sissy’s aunt Bethel, who owns the Sunflower Café but recently broke her leg. It’s a homecoming of sorts as Sissy arrives to help in the café and reunite with her pregnant cousin Lizzie. Plus she can continue to secretly write her newspaper advice column as seventy-year-old “Aunt Bess.” But it’s Sissy who could use some advice when she finds the milk deliveryman out behind the café with a knife in his back. As the sheriff’s prime suspect, it’s up to Sissy to catch the backstabber herself—before someone else gets creamed . . .
Amy Lillard begins a new cozy mystery series with some great characters. There was a good mix of Amish and English characters and a very adorable Yorkie. Sissy was a great character as well and I enjoyed getting to know her through the story.
The book did slow down a bit and felt drawn out at times but started to pull together and become more animated as the story progressed. I enjoyed the twists and turns and surprises.
Overall this was a good book and I enjoyed the quick cozy read. So pick up a copy of Dairy, Dairy, Quite Contrary and enjoy a fun summer read! Happy Reading!
