NOTE: This should have been a 4* star review but I just read a 1 star that made my blood boil and decided to raise the rating to 5.
It's a new series and it's got a lot of potential but also some of the usual issues of a first instalment.
I loved Hildy: she's damaged, quirky and fun at the same time. A very good an unusual character for a cozy mystery. I also love the rest of the cast of characters, I found them fleshed out and likeable.
The plot is engrossing and entertaining, some parts requires a bit of suspension of belief but it flows without issues.
The mystery was good, full of twists and turns.
i look forward to reading the next instalment in this series.
Recommended!
