Looking forward to the next one. What a wonderful read, couldn't put the book down once I started. I felt so at home with the characters and totally enjoyed it. Five stars given as this was an enjoyable and uncomplicated cosy mystery which I could put down and pick up at any time. I really enjoyed reading this book, it was just like reading an Agatha Christie book but a bit more up to date. Treat yourself to this quaint very enjoyable book. A nicely written, easy to follow story. Interesting characters and plenty of drama. If you like the classic locked room style mysteries, then this is well worth a read. Enjoyed the setting with its crumbling walls, dust and draughts. Very realistic!!
