Synopsis:
Former society wife Grace Cassidy is learning to live on the minimum wage she earns as a bed & breakfast inn-sitter. Grace finds her cat’s bloody paw prints leading away from a bathtub and wants to run for her life. But she can’t. Her 19-year-old son is accused of pushing his pregnant girlfriend down a flight of concrete steps and she won’t abandon him.
Read an excerpt:
Blood colored paw prints trailed from the white tile bathroom onto the faux Oriental rug in the bedroom where Grace stood. The cat-feet marks immobilized Grace. She closed her eyes and prayed that she had been claimed by stress-induced insanity, that there were no dark-red blots before her eyes, but a hallucination. A nice long rest in a mental hospital didn’t sound too bad. Anything except another dead body in this inn where she worked.

My Thoughts
The Corpse Who Walked in the Door by Jackie King is a fun and interesting cozy mystery. It is the second Grace Cassidy mystery, but the first that I’ve read. Grace is a great character. I found this story easy to read and it was a quick read for me. I enjoyed it. I found myself wanting to know what happened next and trying to figure out ‘whodunnit’ along with Grace. I also liked Theodora in the story. She was funny and sassy.
