spoiler: she did NOT solve her own murder

Okay, it wasn’t awful. It was quick and got me through a bit of a reading slump so I appreciate it for that. It just isn’t anything spectacular or groundbreaking. The most unique aspect was the fortune! But I liked that it didn’t wade into magical waters for the story, it was based in reality (as much as a murder mystery can be).

This was a classic yet cozy mystery filled with both the current murder investigation and also the events from sixty years ago. I found the integration of Frances' journal entries a nice format for discovering the village's past, but Annie recalling them yet again throughout her investigation chapters was too much. I guess I like my clues to stay subtly woven throughout the book instead of explicitly re-stated by the characters.

Really enjoyed this first full book of the year, even though it was a bit of a barn burner and I'm trying to slow down. (What do you call a page turner if it's an audiobook?) A fun read with interesting characters who seem real, even though they all live in the same small town (definitely a romance trope, but I suppose it's also a mystery trope.)
