The Widowsâ Guide to Murder
The Widows' Guide to Murder is the epitome of cosy mystery, and a fun read to boot.
The widows of the title are Hen, Tuppence, JM, and newcomer Ginny. They live in the Lancashire village Little Shaw, and are amateur sleuths. They're not quite on a par with Miss Marple, but they do their best, bless them.
I love a cosy mystery, be it from the golden age of detective fiction, or something more contemporary. The Widows' Guide to Murder ticked all the boxes for me.
I loved the characters, although the star of the show was Edgar, the stray cat adopted by Ginny. đ±
The story unfolded at a steady pace, with a perfect balance of humour and seriousness. There was also the usual fun of trying to solve the crime before the widows did. Alas, I failed miserably.
Suffice to say I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I look forward to catching up with the widows very soon.
Thanks to Storm Publishing and Netgalley for the digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.
