Cute cozy

Light cozy mystery, nice narration. Love the setting and the characters in this cute story.

Excellent start to the series

Ruth Finlay and her neighbor Doris Cleaver find a dead body in a antique market. In their small Australian town everyone knows everyone else and many hold grudges for decades. With plenty of suspects and motives, Ruth and Doris start sleuthing. I enjoyed the story and the mystery very much. The characters are quirky and funny but are determined to find the truth. I enjoyed Ruth’s preparation of meals for her dad in the nursing home and for Doris. The narration was outstanding.
