My Review:

Another fun, cozy, brain-teasing mystery with a murder happening in an eccentric hamlet in the Cotswolds. Can’t say I’d want to visit them at this one. Life in this village sounds brutal. The storylines were engaging, easy to follow, and unpredictable, with an odd cast of characters who were well fleshed out and knowable. Ms. Young kept the little pea in my brain guessing yet well entertained.
