I really enjoyed this cozy. One of the best series’ debuts I’ve read in a while. Nell is a wonderful lead: charming, sensible, professional and curious in all the right quantities.

The story is very detailed about the work of a fundraiser, perhaps too detailed for some, but the author showed she knew what she was talking about. Which is a nice change from so many cozy where I've got to wonder whether the author even bothered to research what they are talking about.

It isn't a typical cozy in the sense that a murder is the main mystery. Far from it, the death of a staff member is considered an accident. The main focus is on the theft of parts of the collections of the Society. The most likely suspect is quickly identified and the rest of the story is about how to gather the evidence to catch the thief.

Also nice to read a cozy where the romance contents was negligible. I kept expecting it to pop-up (other cozies have spoiled my mind), but luckily the romantic interest I had picked was too professional for that.
