Aunt Bessie Assumes by Diana Xarissa

I chose this book only because the author's last name starts with X and I needed it for the Alphabet Soup Author Challenge. Well, I now have my X author covered for several years because I thoroughly enjoyed this cozy mystery. The characters were well developed and realistic. I loved Aunt Bessie! I was raised by "an old spinster lady" so I could relate to her and the way everyone new her as Aunt Bessie. She was a strong independent woman with a healthy curiosity and knew everyone and everything that went on on the Isle of Man. Her amateur sleuthing with Doona, Hugh, and Inspector Rockwell made this an interesting mystery that was at time humorous. I look forward to reading more about Aunt Bessie.
