{I've Been Reading} Frugal Lissa Finds a Body

Frugal Lissa Finds a Body by Ritter Ames

This was a fun read.  Lissa Eller stretches her family's budget by living frugally and sharing her tips with the world on her blog. She's helping an elderly neighbor when she discovers a body in the woman's garage. It's not the first time Lissa has seen the man -- at karaoke the previous night she had a disagreement with him in front of witnesses.

With her photographer husband out of the country, Lissa has her hands full running the household and caring for their two young sons, who are a handful. She's also trying to solve the murder because she's worried that she might look like a suspect and she wants to find out what led to the victim contacting her in the first place.  The book is filled with parenting moments, which was a plus for me. Lissa tends towards the free range style of parenting and I don't think I've seen that in a cozy before so it was a fun change of pace.  I was sad to see that the second book in the series isn't available quite yet because I would've immediately  plunged into it to see what happens next in her life.
