The book description really covers in depth exactly what this story is all about so no need for me to say too much more about the plot except to say it was an enjoyable and intriguing read. I don't usually jump into a series 6 books in, but I was glad I did. It's been written in such a way as to ensure that the reader isn't left feeling that they don't know what's going on or who on earth anyone is. I really felt like I wasn't at a disadvantage, and it was very easy pick up the general thread. With that in mind I definitely wouldn't rule out going back and read all the previous books in the series as the characters are so enjoyable.

As a die-hard Ms Marple fan, I can definitely see why this book would appeal to those who adore a good old murder mystery, especially when there is a determined woman at the heart of it and Kate Palmer is definitely that! She's methodical, stubborn and doesn't give up easily, especially when her husband Woody's reputation and freedom is at risk! Though poor Woody does get a little bit frustrated at times as his wife who sometimes puts herself at risk, but he knows there's no point in arguing with her when she's got the bit between her teeth though. It was refreshing to read a murder mystery with older characters at the heart of it and showing their younger counterparts that they aren't ready to be put out to pasture just yet! Mature super sleuths who are giving everyone in their village a lot to talk about.

A well written, character driven plot based in what sounds like a fabulous location. The author has really provided a lovely backdrop for this novel though given the number of murders that have occurred there I'm not sure it's a particularly safe place to live but with Kate Palmer on the case no crime goes unsolved or unpunished. A super read and definitely worth your attention. Very enjoyable.
