First thing first: I read plenty of cozy mysteries as they are one of my favourite genres and it’s been a while since I read book of a new to me author and thought “WOW” and it was love at first page.
Let’s say it was love after the first chapters as I was hooked and couldn’t put it down. I read it in one setting and thoroughly enjoyed it.
This book ticked a lot of checks in my personal “must read this cozy series”: quirky characters, plenty of humour, a solid mystery and a senior detective.
I had a lot of fun, loved the descriptions of the WI activities and loved Beattie, a well thought and rounded character.
This is a humorous story but it’s also a well written mystery, full of twists and turns, that kept me guessing.
I will surely buy the first in this series and I hope there will be a lot of other novels as I want to meet Beattie and travel to Elsmbury again.
This book is strongly recommended as it’s highly entertaining and engrossing.
