Review: Way to start out a "Darling" mystery series!
Rating: 5 out of 5

The main character, Sam Darling, who, by the way is a woman, has a quirk. Knowing that "Who Killed My Boss?" is the first in a series, it will not be difficult to pick right back up with Dufrene's next novel as quirks are memorable. I'm not going to tell all, but the quirk brought me in, and the writing kept me wanting to find out more.Sam's dog, Clancy, helped me rule out certain people as the murderer/murderess as dogs seem to have keen insight into soemone's character. I could identify with the relationship between Sam and Clancy as my two pups and I have the same relationship - it's a one-sided, tell-all and nothing will ever be repeated type of friendship.  Love Clancy!in her debut novel, Dufresne shows her gift of story telling as she moves the plot forward introducing believable characters and a complicated plot.  With an exciting and satisyfing ending - albeit not the ending I suspected, the book is a fun, beach, porch or couch read. I also found myself identifying with Sam Darling in many ways.When I read a debut novel, I like to find out more about the author and found that Ms. Defresne is from a large, close-knit family and that some of the traits of her characters are taken right out of her real-life relationships - which made the novel even more enjoyable.Recommended to everyone who enjoys a well-written, fun cozy mystery!  I will be on the lookout for the next book in the Sam Darling series.
