annarella 's review for:

Murder at the Castle by Lisa Cutts
5.0

I love cozy mystery and this is a good example of a cozy mystery I love: well written, full of humour and fun, and with a puzzle to be solved.
I think this another of those series that improves with each new instalment: I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was one of those books that you cannot put down as you are having fun.
Belinda and Harry are an “Odd Couple”, even if there’s a lot of difference there’s also a chemistry, an excellent collaboration and they care for each other. Their possible romance always makes me smile as they seem to be black belt in avoiding to accept that maybe there’s something more.
They are also clever and able to put together the pieces of the puzzle and bring culprits to justice.
There’s an interesting puzzle at the core of the solid mystery: how they did it and how it was possible to do it in front of other people. There’s no scarcity of suspects and there’s plenty of twists. I found the solution satisfying and the plot kept me guessing.
It was a fun and relaxing read that I strongly recommend.
Many thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
