The Body in the Back Garden

This is a great cozy mystery! There was some cringy funny investigation. There is some past events for him to work past. The town of Crescent Cove and his cottage are just so cute! The ‘bad guy' was a surprise. I had figured out part o the reason why, but the who was a total surprise. The romance was well done also. It looked as if there was going to be a bit of a love quadrangle, but even at the beginning we clearly see the type of boyfriend they are, so it didn't feel like a real competition. I liked the way that worked out. My only tiny complaint, that will probably be fixed in book 2, is that he didn't spend enough time at the antique store.
