Description

A vanished guest. A ruined pet shop. And Maple Lake’s calm thrown into chaos in this chihuahua cozy mystery.Molly Montgomery was finally settling into life at Maplewood Haven—fluffing pillows, perfecting pancake batter, and tiptoeing around the sparks between her and Jake, the rugged handyman. But when newcomer Max Reynolds disappears from her B&B, leaving behind a ransacked pet store and a locked back room, Molly’s peaceful routine unravels fast.With her pint-sized Chihuahua, Mitz, and her gossip-loving best friend Lila, Molly digs into Max’s secrets: exotic-animal equipment he shouldn’t have, debts he never mentioned, and rumors that his past wasn’t just messy—it was dangerous.Two suspects rise quickly. Steve Carter, a rival pet-store owner with a short fuse, and every reason to want Max gone. And a mysterious stranger seen arguing with Max days before he vanished. Someone holds the truth Molly needs.But when a chilling note warns her to stop digging, whimsy turns deadly.If Molly doesn’t uncover the truth soon, the next disappearance could be her own.

    • Pandemonium at the Pet Store
Format: Paperback
Tessa Aura has done another excellent job keeping you interested in the story so that you can not put it down until you have finished reading the book. There are enough twist and turns for Molly, Lila and Molly's chihuahua Mitz to look for clues regarding Max's disappearance. They run into lots of dead ends while they are looking for Max but that just make them want to find him more. I think anyone who enjoys a good clean mystery will enjoy this story and I can't wait to start the next book in the series. ... show more

    • Pleasant, short read
Format: Kindle
This was a pleasant, short read of a new (to me) author. The story was a classic take on small town mystery. I enjoyed the time spent in the town and the various characters. There were some continuity issues so the ending was more of a snap of fingers after the build up, but I would read the next book of the series. There is a prequel book, which I haven’t read, and that may have been helpful for character development. There is an assumption of knowledge when the three main characters are introduced that we already know them and their history. That knowledge, however, would only enhance this story, but it doesn’t take away from reading as a stand-alone story. I struggled with the passage of time throughout the story (has it been days, weeks or months, and it goes back and forth), and there were holes for continuity throughout. The first 4 chapters read differently than the rest of the book. Once I hit chapter 5, it smoothed out, hit a stride and read better. Even with that, I enjoyed reading this. ... show more

    • Intriguing mystery, small town sleuths
Format: Kindle
Great cozy mystery that gets you hooked on the characters. Little dog companion makes it great for helping to solve the mysterious problems. Would have liked the dog to be more involved although he does sniff out clues. After finishing the book, it leaves you wanting the next book.

    • A Book Doesn't Necessarily Need a Murder to Be a Good Mystery!
Format: Kindle
I enjoyed Pandemonium at the Pet Store! I think the fact that no one got killed showed off the author's chops more than if she had tossed one in just because it was expected. I thought the character development progressed naturally and who doesn't love Mitz? If I had one critique it was that I found it a little cold that no one missed Molly and Lila until they got up and there was no breakfast! But did they call the police? No, they went out to eat. Also, when Max disappeared, who was feeding and taking care of the pets in the store? He was gone for days! I would have thought the animal rights guy would have been all over that, but no. Still, this was a good mystery, better than a lot I've read lately. I received this book as a free ARC, and this is my honest opinion. I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys a good mystery and may not be all that bloodthirsty. ... show more

    • a cozy little mystery...
Format: Kindle
Pandemonium at the Pet Store is the second book in the Molly Montgomery Cozy Mystery series by Tessa Aura. Pandemonium at the Pet Store is a cozy little mystery that will keep you glued to your seat for a few hours because once you pick it up you won’t be able to lay it down until you have read the whole thing. Molly will pull you deep into her world the moment you read that first page and if Molly doesn’t do it for you then I am sure Mitz her little chihuahua will. A man, Max checks into Molly’s B&B and opens a pet store in town. The whole town is gossiping about Max. Max is the kind of person who keeps things to himself. He is very vague when answering questions about himself. When Molly starts hearing all the talk about Max floating around town she investigates with the help of Lila and Mitz. Molly is a person who always wants to know the answers to all sorts of questions. Molly and Lila go to Max’s pet store to ask him more questions to try and find out more about the man and where he lives before upon their arrival at the store they find the store has been trashed and Max is nowhere to be seen. Where is Max? Did he run away from something or someone? Is he in hiding? If so from who or what? Or maybe he has been kidnapped. Oh, no what has happened to Max? Is he safe? Is he still alive? Pandemonium at the Pet Store will keep you hooked from beginning to end wondering who Max is and where he is. It will also have you wondering what he is up to if anything. The suspense will eat at you causing you to want to know all the answers and have you racing to the end to find out. I can’t wait to see what Molly, Mitz, Lila, and Jake have waiting for us in the next book in the Molly Montgomery Cozy Mystery series. I highly recommend Pandemonium at the Pet Store to all mystery fans. Grab a copy of Pandemonium at the Pet Store today! ... show more

    • A Four 1/2 star read
Format: Kindle
Pandemonium at the Pet Store: A Molly Montgomery Cozy Mystery (A Maple Lake Cozy Mystery Book 1), my sixth enjoyable 94-page read from author Tessa Aura that I finished in about 90-minutes. There are so many cozy mysteries out there, but they're popular and I read my share of them. “I received a complementary Kindle copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. I'll read more from this author. I own 8 other books by her and high on my TBR list are Felony at the Fall Festival: A Molly Montgomery Cozy Mystery and Murder at the Marriage Nuptials: A Molly Montgomery Cozy Mystery.
