I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
As with the other books in the Evelyne Redfern series, this book was outstanding. This is a cozy murder mystery series without graphic sex and language, or overly descriptive violence.
The writing, plotline, and character development are excellent. But, oh, I want book four! This book had my brain tied in knots trying to figure it out, and I thought I did. Then PLOT TWIST!
This is not really a stand-alone novel, so I would suggest reading books one and two first!
