‘Miriam thought about protesting, then decided that if one were to face down a murderer, one should do it accompanied by dragons’. 

- cozy fantasy
- dragons 
- murder mystery 


This was the women-of-an-older-age-meddling-in-a-murder-investigation book I thought ‘The Thursday Murder Club’ was going to be. Oh, and it has dragons. 

This was a funny, cozy mystery and surprisingly a very accurate depiction of village life- albeit minus the murder! 

The mystery element wasn’t as strong as it necessarily could have been, but I couldn’t bring myself to care! I was too busy being invested in the WI and scone-eating dragons! 

(Who knew I’d identify the most with a highly anxious dragon with a penchant for unseasonable mince pies?!)

If you’re after a bit of light relief, and a cozy fantasy/mystery, welcome to Toot Hansell: here be dragons.
