I absolutely loved this book! I could not stop listening, as the story pulls you in and makes you want to keep listening.
All of the characters are brilliantly written and observed. You really want things to work out for them, especially Harry, the unlikely hero of the book.
I found this book because I am a huge fan of Jonathan Keeble's always superb narration, which paired beautifully with the excellent writing within this novel. I am very much looking forward to any and all future books in what promises to be an excellent series ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A fantastic start to a new cosy mystery series ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
