A pleasant and cozy murder mystery, full of era-accurate language and depictions, reading this book really was like being immersed in a British weekday afternoon mystery series from days of yore! The dialogue was particularly enjoyable, really vibrant and dynamic, and the setting was bucolic, very much matching the "old England" feel of Marple etc. Pleasingly, I didn't guess the murderer or the method, which is always a nice surprise. Not sure if this is going to be part of a series, but I feel like it could be. My thanks to NetGalley for the review copy.
