This is the first in a historical cozy mystery series and it was a delightful read. I especially enjoyed the sleuthing couple and the female role portrayed as back in those days women were rarely afforded such freedom. The mystery itself was enjoyable as well and made for a fun read.

I am voluntarily reviewing this book after receiving a free copy.

This book offers a very unique "whodunit" story with entertaining dialogue and surprising reveals. I love that the book came across as being just as cozy as described. I did find it a bit difficult to get started, as there are many characters introduced right away, making it difficult to keep track of who's who, but as the story progressed it became easier to remember how everyone was linked to each other and I finished the last half very quickly. I loved the dynamics between Tommy and Evelyn and am excited to read the second installment in this series!
