Great series

I love this series so much. The characters are delightfully quirky and entertaining and the mysteries keep me guessing. The fun facts at the end of each book are also a favorite and the narrator does a great job.

Interesting Story!

As you go through the book, you can pick up a lot of interesting historical tidbits. That makes the story more interesting. I always find this author’s books very entertaining. This book was no exception to that principle. The best part was the ending. I did not see it coming, although I had thought earlier in the book it would be the ending. But then I was convinced as to what was given as the solution to the homicide. The book will hold your interest throughout.

Love the banter

The cohesiveness of the story. Never got lost or felt like I had to backtrack. Just like comfortable cousins

Well worth waiting for!

While I have to admit that I figured out the killer quite early on, the twists and turns in the details, plus the growth of the main characters, kept me on the edge of my seat. The ending was a particularly good one in an interesting way.

Continued excellence

These books are always fun to read. Chrisy leaves a lot of amusing comments for the reader. Plot twists are great and not usually expected. Good to read on kindle or listen to on audible.
