Much cozy, very murder.

Docked a star for what I'd consider unkind treatment of a queer detective, but ymmv.

Reminiscent of Thursday Murder Club with a lovable cast and an engaging mystery. Maybe a few too many plates spinning and a couple of overdone red herrings, but all in all, a perfectly pleasant and cozy mystery. Griffiths writes with a deft hand.

I am a sucker for a book that references other books. The first in this series did the same- this followed along with crime novels. Swoon.
Peggy enjoys noting the comings and goings on her street- number of dog walkers, cyclists.
That's where her carer, Natalka, finds her.
The son, Nigel, and his wife swoop diwn to clean out her flat. Natalka helps. Only to find many of the crime novels dedicated or acknowledging Peggy. She even has a businesses card - murder consultant.
Harbinder is made aware of the possibility of Peggy's death actually being a homicide. She remains unconvinced until Natalka and Benedict, a former monk turned coffee shack owner, are held at gunpoint.
Humor. Lovely people. Characters. Very enjoyable read.

To be honest I def this book as I became bored with it about a quarter of the way through. Definitely not as good as the first in this series.
