I hope this is the first in a long series because once I started reading I couldn't put it down till the last page.
It's a cozy mystery with gothic elements but there're also some strong themes that makes it a gripping read.
I loved how the author manages to described Temerity path to move on and overcome grief, the cozy and quaint village that can be so cruel toward people who are considered different.
It's a novel that can be poignant at moments and make you laugh after some pages.
I loved the cast of characters, I think they are fleshed out and interesting. Temerity is a strong woman and she's able to change. Tilda is sweet and I hope we will see more of her in a next novel.
The mystery is well crafted, full of twists and turns, and it kept me guessing. I loved how the author manage to balance the mystery and the paranormal elements.
I was a entertaining and engrossing read, highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
