Just when everything is returning to the calm that Quinn Caine and her sidekicks Ruff Barker Ginsburg and Sister Daria are used to in their beloved town of Vienna, a Broadway star crash-lands into their peace and quiet. Chad Frivole is Vienna’s prodigal son, and the once notorious lothario has returned a Broadway star, ready to make a different kind of mark on his hometown.
But not everyone is celebrating the Tony-award-winner’s return. Chad’s a triple threat—with a cast of characters lining up to seek their revenge on him. So when he turns up dead in his car, trapped with a sack full of snakes, Quinn can’t say she’s surprised—but she promises handsome detective Aiden Harrington that she’s staying out of this local mystery.
But then someone starts threatening her brother’s life. And while it’s true Sebastian used to be a womanizer just like Chad, the killer doesn’t seem to care that he’s not that man anymore. So now Sebastian's in the killer’s sights, and unless Quinn and her crew can find the killer in time, whoever it is will drag her brother into his final act on this mortal coil.

While I received a copy of this audiobook in exchange for a review, all opinions remain my own. Thank you Netgalley and Dreamscape Media for allowing me the opportunity to listen to this novel.
This story was what I call a "cozy mystery." It is set in a small town, with a fun cast of characters. This is book two in the series, but you don't have to have read book one to know what's going on. When a book includes the pets and they have names like Cindy Clawford and RGB, how can it pawsibly be bad (get it!?)? I loved the relationships between the characters, both familial and not. It brings out the small-town values but also the hard parts of being in that same small town. This was a quick read but didn't make it any less enjoyable. I would be more than happy to pick up another of Kincaid's books to listen to.
