I love these characters. The plot is interesting, the twists and mysteries keep me engaged and the action adds some adventure and fun to the narrative but overall the character portraits and development, the relationship between these people, that's what makes this book what it is.
Following these four people who feel completely fleshed out, they live seperate lives from each other and even from the book itself, it truly feels like each of them were taken from our world and popped together in Coopers chase to see what trouble they'd get up to.
The vulnerability and struggle Ibrahim goes through in this story and the support and love of this friends.
The connection between Ron and the people he loves, his grandson bringing out the child in all of them.
The strength and independence of Elizabeth being broken down by finally realised she can depend on her friends. The stunningly, heartbreaking tender relationship between her and Steven.
Bogdan, everyone loves Bogdan. His friendship with Steven keeping him with us a little longer.
And of course Joyce. Always joyful, always underestimated and always up to mischief.
I love following these people as they go on the adventures of a lifetime, teaching us that no matter how old you get, you always have more to learn, more to do and more to love.

Funny, exciting, and captivating mystery. A sequel that is just as good if not better than the first novel!

I adored this book! I love the British humor and the characters are so freaking lovable, it’s hard to not see yourself or a loved one in the main cast of characters. There are some throw away lines that may be triggering but a pretty big subplot is the police conspiring to put someone in jail for crimes they didn’t commit which could be triggering to people who have either experienced police misbehavior or are sick and tired of it.missgrangerr's review against another edition

Keep these coming! I love these books. The characters are so likable and you root for them to succeed. Enjoyed getting more backstory on Elizabeth. I like that Ibrahim’s story was portrayed in a realistic light.

I’m really loving this series. Took me a little while to remember the characters as I’ve read a few books since the last book. But I really liked how the story carried on, and that Donna, Chris and Bogden will a part of the story. I also really hope that Donna and Bogden end up together on the next book. The fact that there were a couple of twists and that Joyce solved some things herself made things interesting. I also liked the ending, it felt right.

Love to have my first book of the year be one where I'm spending more time with the residents of Cooper's Chase.
