There are two recipes at the end of the book (one for humans and one for dogs). Bad to the Bone is an easy breezy type of story (light and fluffy). I wish there had been more focus on the mystery than on Carrie’s life.

I wish, though, that more of the sleuthing had taken place in the book instead of the reader’s being told about it at the reveal. You would not be lost if you started with Bad to the Bone.
