After her adventures in Lost Under a Ladder, Rory and her dog, Pluckie, are managing the Lucky Dog Boutique in Destiny, CA, the home of all things superstitious. Best friend Gemma arrives from Los Angeles for a visit. Flummoxed by her recent breakup with fellow librarian Frank, Gemma is comforted by the attentions of Destiny's two most eligible bachelors. But when one of her suitors ends up dead, all eyes focus on Gemma. Rory knows her friend is innocent and sets out to prove it.
VERDICT Picking up the action shortly after the events of the first book, this second outing features likable characters and an immersive plot to keep cozy fans turning the pages. A pleasant pick for fans of Blaize Clement or Clea Simon.
