No one should die on their birthday. It should be one of life's rules...

The unflappable Mrs. Nettie Pidgeon, keeper of the town's society page, deftly handles any situation. So, when party planning for the town’s wealthiest resident, toy inventor John Newberry turns into a china-shattering squabble, she quickly steps in to diffuse tempers and keep the peace. But her sincere belief in law and order doesn’t stop the birthday bash from becoming a crime scene when the universally loathed businessman takes a fatal blow to the head.

Brimming with a need to see justice done, Mrs. Pidgeon dives into the mystery only to discover all present at the party had a motive. And after partygoers and family alike claim to have not heard or seen a thing, the whip-smart amateur sleuth fears the cops will throw an innocent person behind bars.

Can she collect the right clues before a killer proves to be the better opponent?

Helping her along is her granddaughter Libby, who runs the Mrs. Pidgeon’s Café on Main Street; and her friends, Dr. Babs Hamilton, the local doctor; and Lynnette Gale, owner of the town’s beauty shop where gossip rules the day.

Murder In Nettleton Top is the entertaining first book in the Mrs. Pidgeon Mysteries series.

“A Murderous Birthday… ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Another cozy little mystery novel that kept me guessing until the end.

Mrs. Nettie Pidgeon is a classy senior who writes a column for her local newspaper but when two murders take place in her quaint town, will she be able to help uncover the culprit before she becomes the next victim?

John Newberry is a toy tycoon that everyone in the town of Nettleton Top loves to hate. He’s a crook and on top of that, he's a bully and an adulterer. His new, younger wife decides to host an over-the-top birthday party for him and everything seems to be going well until he's discovered dead from a blow to his head. Everyone in the town seems to have some sort of motive. Who could have done this, and why? What secrets will Nettie uncover?

I really enjoyed this book. A quick read with short chapters is just how I like cozy mysteries. Nettie is a fun character. The story has nice pacing and puzzling clues, as well as a twist ending. All in all, a perfect afternoon read.”
