Another truly cozy mystery, maybe a bit too much, with details about meals, and, inevitably, manicuring and the new spa. Mystery was ok, although the victim was pretty easy to spot and some readers probably cheered his demise. Nice details about some of the settings and most of the characters are pleasant enough to spend time with.

The story takes place in Wales and in England. Loved the scenic descriptions, especially of a castle setting. At about chapter 2 things picked up big time. Though I thought I knew where the story was taking me, but boy was I in for a surprise. Not what I expected at all, you will never guess who the killer is. You'll think you know who is who, what is what and where is where, You Dont!! This was the first in the series I had read, though this is book 4 I think, I might be wrong. You did not need to know anything to understand the characters, their relationships, from page one it is its own book. Deff great reading for Christmas! I LOVED the ending!
