The Murders in Great Diddling by Katarina Bivald

lighthearted mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

Not laugh out loud funny - despite the blurb! - but a fairly light-hearted mystery around who blew up an unpopular man in his aunt's library.  Berit is an author suffering from writer's block who is fairly new to the village and who finds herself inspired as she gets to know the villagers and investigates the murder.

The characters are enjoyable, if somewhat unbelievable, and this was a fun enough read
