The mysteries featuring Shanti and Caine are becoming a favorite. This is the second I read and it was a well plotted, compelling and entertaining read that I couldn't put down.
The force of this book is the relationship between the two detective: Shanty is no-nonsense woman who play by the book, Caine is more emotion driven and spiritual.
Their emotions and this differences make them a strong investigative couple.
The mystery is fascinating and there's a lot red herrings, suspects, and questions. It's a puzzle and a sort of locked room mystery even if the room is not locked
I hope there's going to be a lot of other books in this series, this one is strongly recommended.

I can't resist a book set in New Orleans as this one. It was a good choice because it's a gripping legal thriller that kept me reading.
Well plotted, good storytelling and fleshed out characters. The descriptions of New Orleans are great and loved them
I want to read other books by this authors.
Recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, the start of a new cozy mystery series, and I checked if and when new instalments were going to be published.
It's an excellent debut as we're introduced to the characters/setting without any info dump. Lady Beatrice is a well-developed character, a clever woman who lost her husband in a accident and suffered from the press over exposition.
She seems to be a cold and aloof woman but it's a mask to protect her from the world.
I liked her since the beginning as I liked Percy, Simon, and the other characters. They're all likeable and fleshed out.
The mystery is solid, there's enough suspects and red herrings to keep me guessing and it never drags.
The author is a good storyteller and I liked how the plot is developed and the humour. I read it in one afternoon and can't wait to read the next stories.
I appreciated how different media were used in this novel in a clever way. They're part of the story but not the only way to tell a story and the mix of traditional and new works well.
My only note: I'm not a fan of fashion label name dropping. I assume that the characters wear luxury fashion, but I don't think it's a bonus to know the label of their shoes.
This entertaining and well plotted story is highly recommended.

The Garden Squad Mysteries are a favorite of mine and always enjoyed each instalment. This one is not one of my favorite as I found it quite slow paced.
I was happy to catch up with the Garden Squad, I thoroughly enjoyed the gardening discussions and the place.
But I found it quite slow and it took me a lot of time to read it insted of the usual "read in one setting".
That said the mystery is solid and kept me guessing, I was surprised by the twists and the solution. There's a lot going on in the life of the characters and I can't wait to read th next story.
I recommend it if you already read other books in this series.

A lovely and festive story, full of humour and festive. i thoroughly enjoyed the characters, rooted for them, and had a lot of fun in reading this novel.
I liked the humour and the city-vs-south situation was very funny.

An excellent horrot, creepy and gripping. It kept me on the edge and I felt a sense of dread.
The author is a talented writer and can't wait to read other stories.
Highly recommended.
