This set was different and quirky and I liked it. I won a contest and received the boxed set of the Cozy Cash Mysteries from the author, which was very nice.I really enjoyed these books and stories -- I'm a fan of mysteries by authors like Joanne Fluke and Laura Levine, and these were funny also. I like that Roman calls Zoey "Plum Puddin'" and compares her to Stephanie Plum. I also like the fact that Zoey is NOT Stephanie Plum. The author didn't try to copy Janet Evanovich. Roman and Zoey are a great team. I love the Mom Squad short stories. I think my favorite of the short stories is "Hullabaloo and Holly, Too." I love Zoey's parents, who are crazy about Christmas. They are so sweet and fun.I also thought Vinnie the pot-bellied pig was adorable. My husband used to have a video of a British group from the 60s singing the song "I Love Jennifer Echols" to a pot-bellied pig and that's what I pictured when I imagined Vinnie.I thought it was great that characters from other books found their way into this series. i love when that happens. This was a fun series to read -- I had a great time!
