Annie Fisher is scared. She's scared of the mess her boyfriend, Max Parker, is in the middle of and she has to get out of his house. She puts a whole state between them and drives like a madwoman from Cooper, NY to her hometown of Catfish Cove, NH where she hopes she'll be safe. She decides to start a new life, a life she ran away from two years ago but is finding herself missing as soon as she gets home. Annie immediately has a place to live, a job at her Aunt Leona's new café -- Black Cat Café -- and plenty of boyfriend prospects. Unfortunately, she also has plenty of bad things follow her. Like Max Parker. Only the next time she sees him he's dead. Suddenly everyone she runs into turns into a potential suspect. There are ghosts from her past and new neighbors that make her hair stand on end. And right in the middle of everything is Annie with Max's last warning to her -- Don't trust anyone. Will those words prove to keep her safe or put too much distance between Annie and those trying to help her?

I could have been doing dishes instead...
I should have known right from the fact that the author needs to tell you that this is a cozy mystery in her subtitle, but I kept on reading. Unfortunately, this was just a terribly written book. It read as if the author was just writing down her thoughts as they came to her: 'Hey! She'll leave her boyfriend who's doing terrible things!' What now? 'She finds a furnished apartment!' Seriously?
She just ups and leaves her boyfriend because her aunt needs her - even though she's apparently cut ties with anyone from her former life, including her former boyfriend. She miraculously has a lovely apartment to move into, and becomes partners with her aunt, in a building owned by her father, who is a nasty man who hates cats. I don't trust people who hate cats. Cats are just as loyal as dogs, and some even more loving. I've owned both.
There's just so much wrong with this book. I rarely read self-published books (as I've stated many times before) and here we have another example of why that is. Sorry, but I really doubt that I'll be reading any more by this author; although I might have a moment of illness or weakness that changes my mind. Who knows.
