… she was able to kick him in the goolies. That always does for them, you know.
She was now hoping he was the killer, if only to imagine him getting a life sentence. Try telling the prison officers just how you like your eggs done!

My Review:
.
Another fun and well-contrived cozy from the crafty and poison-free pen of Dee MacDonald. I have enjoyed each installment of this cleverly paced, amusing, and satisfying series. Ms. MacDonald’s murders are easy to follow but not easily solved, although I have a delightful time trying and will continue to give them a go when she rolls out the next one.
About the Author
Dee MacDonald grew up on an isolated farm in the Scottish Highlands. An only child, she’d often get fed up of reading and listening to a crackling radio, so her mother encouraged her to draw and to write ‘wee stories’, which she’d sew together into little books.
As an adult, her working life took her all over the globe as an air stewardess, into the world of TV, where she worked in Market Research and Sales, and then into hospitality, running B&Bs for over ten years.
After first finding her love of writing as a little girl, Dee became a published author of cosy crime and women’s fiction in her seventies. She lives by the sea in Cornwall with her husband, and has one son and two grandsons.
