George Bellairs never fails to deliver and I'm never disappointed by his books even if I have very high expectations.
This is an excellent stand alone story with a great description of village life and a solid mystery.
The cast of characters is fleshed out and the description of the historical background is vivid and realistic.
One note: some observation can be a bit un-politically correct but this is part of the time mindset.
I was an excellent read that I couldn't put down, highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Volcanos fascinates me and I loved the photos in this book as they are gorgeous.
I would like to see them in paper.
Highly recommended.

The Kew Gardener's books are always fascinating, informative and richly illustrated.
This one talks about roses and it's a great guide to everything about roses. The illustrations are stunning and I would happy to own it in paper.
A great book that I strongly recommend.

I love this series and always had a lot of fun reading the stories of Cosmo and John.
There's plenty of humour, a well developed world building and quirky and fleshed out characters.
The plot is fast paced, tightly knitted and I kept turning pages as fast as I could because I wanted to know what Cosmo was going to do and what was going to happen.
It's fun series and I think you need the previous books if you want to understand the characters and what is going on. There's some backstory but it can be hard to read this book as a stand alone.
I would be happy to read other stories featuring Cosmo and John, this one is strongly recommended.

This is the second book I read in this series and I think it's better than the first one as the characters are more mature and there's more action.
The world building is as interesting as it was in the first one and there are more details and explanations.
The characters are fleshed out and they seem to have grown up as they face new adventures and great changes in their life.
I can't wait to read the last installment, this one is recommended.

I fell in love with the first book and found this one even better.
The author is a great storyteller and delivers a great world building and excellent character development.
I loved the tightly knitted plot and couldn't put it down.
Can't wait for the next book, this one is highly recommended.

A fascinating, complex and engrossing read that kept me hooked.
The author delivers a story with a dual time line, now and the 20th century Alexandria, an unreliable narrator who can't remember some parts of her life and a solid mystery.
It's the first book I read by this author and won't surely be the last.
This is highly recommended.

I think this is the best story in this beloved series: gripping, entertaining and well written.
I was happy to catch up with the characters and appreciated how well the author describes a hoarding situation and the psychology of the hoarders.
I also appreciated her empathy and the well written cast of characters.
The mystery, full of twists and turns, kept me guessing.
I can't wait to read the next instalment, highly recommended.
