Ask LuvemBooks about Leighann Dobbs
- Where should I start?
- Start with Ghostly Paws, Dobbs' debut and the book we've reviewed. It introduces Wilhelmina Chance, a former crime journalist who returns to her New Hampshire hometown and investigates a librarian's murder alongside a magical cat. It's a good entry point if you want a lighthearted supernatural cozy rather than a tightly plotted procedural, and it holds a 4.3/5 reader rating from over 13,000 Amazon ratings.
- What's their writing style?
- Based on Ghostly Paws, Dobbs writes in a lighthearted register, blending a murder investigation with supernatural elements like a magical cat. Her New Hampshire settings give the work a small-town coziness consistent with the genre. The trade-off, per our review, is that the pacing can wander and the protagonist's quirks may test readers who want a more disciplined investigation.
