It started off good, but quickly got irritating. I got irritated by all the small-town "hick" jabs and the incompetence of the sheriff's department. Plus the main character spent way too much time not doing anything important. Not to mention a key plot point never happened.

This was a very entertaining cozy! Lots of characters and I do mean Characters! Josie is doing everything she can to help her uncle pull off sponsoring a chili cook off but when one of the entrants turns up dead right before the cook off begins she really has her hands full. There are a whole slew of suspects and it's fun watching Josie try to determine who really killed Lucky. Very good read!

I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

First in a series. Josie Callahan has lost her journalist job in Austin AND had her former fiancé unfriend her on Facebook. So, she returns, tail between her legs, to Broken Boot, Texas. She’s living above her Aunt and Uncle’s restaurant and waiting tables to make ends meet. The town’s Wild Wild West Festival is a big tourist attraction, and businesses count on the increased traffic to keep going. But when a local artist is found behind the restaurant, one of the restaurant’s staff is arrested for her murder. Josie doesn’t think the Sheriff is up to the task of investigating, so she uses her reporting skills to ferret out information that will point to the real killer.

As cozies go, this is okay, but the plot is weak and Josie seems too clueless to be a big-city reporter. I did like a number of the supporting cast, including her pet long-haired Chihuahua, Lenny. But I was irritated beyond words that the publishers and/or author didn’t bother to use the proper spellings / alphabet for Spanish words that are used – e.g. Senora vs Señora. That’s just lazy.

I’ll probably read another just to see how the possible romantic dilemma works out. And there are some decent recipes included at the end.
