An excellent and highly entertaining cozy mystery by a new to me author.
I liked the quirky and well thought characters, the interesting setting, and the solid mystery that kept me guessing.
I hope to read other books by this author soon.
Highly recommended.

I love this series and I was happy there will be more books.
It was great to catch up with the quirky and well thought cast of characters.
There's a lot going on in this book and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The world building is as interesting as usual, the characters are well thought and I loved the humor.
I can't wait to read the next installment.
Highly recommended.

When it comes to Vatican it's hard to think about a conspiracy that is more complex than reality due to what happened in the recent financial scandal.
Peter Hogenkamp delivers a fast paced, action packed and highly entertaining story and imagine a very complex conspiracy that could be quasi realistic and it's a lot of fun to follow the twists and turns.
Marco Venetti in an unusual priest that mixes traits of an action hero with those of a weird parish priest. He's a likable and interesting characters and I'm very curious to know what will do in the future books.
The author is an excellent storyteller and I turned pages as fast as I could trying to keep pace with the plot.
The character and plot development are excellent and even if the plot leave no loose end it also leave enough unsolved part to be solved in a future book.
I loved the description of the places and I loved the Cinque Terre setting, a place I always considered excellent for a romance and not for a thriller. And it works well as a thriller setting.
There's a lot going on in this book and I think it's a highly entertaining story that I strongly recommend.

This is the first book I read in this series and I found it highly entertaining and well written.
I was hooked since the first pages and I read in two setting.
It’s an interesting historical mystery that reminded me of Golden Age one and it can be read as a stand-alone even if it’s part of a series.
Poppy is a well rounded and interesting character, a woman who faces the misoginy of the ’20 when women were starting to work but their main role was still wife/mother. She is strong willed and able to fend a world where she’s considered an anomaly as she’s a reporter and investigates.
The cast of characters is interesting. I loved Agnes, the artist who was able to become a well known name in the art world even if she’s the daughter of a miner and had to endure abuse and a life full of grief.
The historical background is well researched and vivid, I liked the description of Newcastle and how the author deals with issues like child abuse and pedophilia.
The solid mystery is full of red herrings, twists and turns. The solution came as a surprise even if there were plenty of clues.
The romance was the weakest part, there’s chemistry between Poppy and the detective but she’s never really involved.
I can’t wait to read the next instalment as I want to know what will be next.
It’s an enjoyable and entertaining read, recommended.

I love Susan Mallery's books and I loved being back to Happily.
It's a festive, uplifting and heartwarming story that kept me hooked and made me turn pages as fast as I can.
The characters are almost all likeable and well thought. I rooted for Garrick and Wynn but Joylyn grated on my nerves as she is a spoiled child not acting like a 21 yr old.
It's an enjoyable and engaging read that I recommend.

I was quite disappointed as there are no puppies in this story and this an enjoyable but standard romance.
Not my cup of tea.
