This is the first in a brand new series called Wiggle Butt Manor Mysteries by Cindy Goyette. While she’s a newcomer to cozy mysteries, you’ll see from her Amazon bio that she knows what she’s talking about, being no stranger to law enforcement. And like main character Charlie, it’s clear the author loves dogs. I absolutely devoured/loved this book and can’t wait for the next one!

My Goodreads review:
Diamond in the Ruff: A Wiggle Butt Manor Mystery by Cindy Goyette
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really liked Charlie’s character a lot especially when I found out what all she’d gone through that led her to come help at the dog hotel. That was a fresh and different spin on a cozy main character and an eye-opening reality that some things we usually equate with older people do hit younger people if it’s a hereditary thing.
Charlie didn’t seem to let her physical limitations own her and worked on other strengths. That Aunt Jo-Jo was such a hoot! I could just picture her knocking down road cones with her wheelchair at rehab lol. When Charlie and the part-time teen employee found a body, everything seemed to go sideways. I was so sure of the whodunit and was surprised at the twist that came toward the end. What a showdown, but Charlie did a good job controlling the perp. The very ending was pretty sweet and now I can’t wait for the next book!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book provided by Level Best via NetGalley, and my opinions are my own.
