Why read it?

1 author picked The Last Word as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A good cozy mystery has lovable characters and a setting that pulls you into the story.

The Last Word did this and more. The main character’s unique job, her posse of quirky side characters, and the swoon-worthy love interest had me racing through the pages trying to solve the mystery while hoping everyone made it out alive. And in love.
