annarella 's review for:

Once Upon a Seaside Murder by Maggie Blackburn
4.0

3,5* rounded to 4
I wasn't a fan of "Little Bookshop of Murder" but I liked this one as it's more complex and engrossing than the first one.
Summer is quite a complex characters, it's not the usual happy&relaxed cozy mystery heroine and she's grieving and suffering. I hope she will find a way to move on, I liked her better and she's slowly growing on me.
The dual time and the mystery are well developed and I couldn't guess the culprit.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
