A murder investigation had never gone so seamlessly, and she wasn't sure she liked it.

This is literally the cutest series ever! Conrad is adorable, Jane is adorable, and they're like the adorable sunshine couple. Though determined as ever to not fall into a relationship, Jane can't help but fall deeper for Conrad, and honestly, who could blame her? I certainly would only blame her if she didn't.

"Everything will be all right, sweetheart. I'm determined. The curse is our dragon. We'll slay it and create our own personal fairy tale."

That. That did it. She had already picked out a name for their fairy tale and everything. The Cemetery Maiden and the Prince of Spices.

As always, the humor is top-notch and Jane is as delightfully slightly-more-than-quirky as ever. If there is absolutely no reason to be suspicious, Jane is. If she's not suspicious, she immediately becomes so. Suspicious if they take their coffee a certain way, if they don't like cats, if they offer suggestions, and even if they ask for help! Cases in point:

Nothing odd had struck her, which had struck her as odd.

Wait. A last-minute decision to attend a fancy, costumed event? Suspicious! Jane added Dr. Price to her list of suspects, as well as Dr. Garcia, then double checked the others. Emma, Lucy, and Devin Hagger. Yep. All belonged. No changes necessary. With such a minefield of probable guiltiness, something good had to blow up soon.

If you like adorable and quirky characters, humor, and cozy mysteries, this is the book series for you.
