Slow but lovely

Light on mystery and awfully slow at times however the domestic scenes are wonderful. Still worth a listen. Also I liked the awakening of Daniel’s romantic life - I hope it continues.

The life in a monastery

I liked the story and the familiar characters. And of course the love between the two main characters.

Very disappointing

I loved the first two books and was really looking forward to the third in the series, but everything about this book really disappointed me: the murder was dull, the solving of it equally dull. The wonderful side characters such as Audrey reduced to being paper thin. Storylines that didn’t go anywhere and felt like padding, designed to achieve word count.

I feel there was just too much emphasis on Daniel’s love life for a murder mystery. I do hope the series continues and the fourth book is a return to form.

Funny and gentle, insightful, cozy with a side of theology

I guessed the murderer early on, and the gist of the backstory, but I still enjoyed every minute of this story
