Quarry in the Quince

Doreen is ever changing, growing as is her relationship with Corporal Mack. Her reputation is starting to proceed her, she is becoming more well known and boy where will that go in the remaining books. Doreen is doing her best to help keep Wendy safe at her consignment shop after seeing some men try and pressure her. With Thaddeus, Goliath and Mugs by her side she is once again chasing down a mystery and the twist and turns in this one just kept on coming. I really appreciate her taking ownership of her friendship to possibly more with Mack. I am not sure what is going on with Richard, as Doreen says he is weird, but is it good or bad? Anyone remember Mr Wilson popping up over the fence on the tv show Tool Time? That is what I keep thinking of. LOL I appreciate that we get to visit with Nan, Doreens grandmother and each book provides the pros, cons and different scenarios of aging. Old folks home, senior living, so many different thoughts and interpretations. I am entertained and I think. Thank you for the arc, I freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions.

We knew something was brewing with Wendy in the last book and of course Doreen has to be smack dab in the middle of it, but would we want it any other way! Mack's jealousy gets to come out in full force and I don't blame him for feeling he could lose Doreen but then again this is not the old Doreen, but the new head strong one! A great read with plenty of laughs, a good mystery and adorable pets that leaves me wanting the next book to see what happens next with everyone!.

Quarry in the Quince is the 17th book in Lethal Gardens series. In the previous books in the series, Doreen gets a reputation for solving cold case murders. So when the book starts, I was waiting for a dead body to start the search for a killer. This book was a totally different kind of mystery. The book starts with Doreen going to her friend Wendy’s consignment store to pick up a check. While she is at the store, she sees Wendy being threatened by two goons looking for a diamond ring. Doreen convinces Wendy to call the police. Mack is the cop that arrives, he warns Doreen not to get involved with these guys, but Doreen can’t stop herself. Even though she’s dating Mack, Doreen can’t listen to his warning, she needs to solve the mystery of the ring. I enjoyed following Doreen as she solved the mystery and I think you would too!.
