⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Love the cover on this one!

If I am not mistaken, this was M.H. Eccleston's debut novel, and it was a very impressive one indeed! It was well written and well paced. I loved the English countryside setting. The plot was cozy and entertaining and kept me guessing until the end. The book was packed full of quirky side characters. Astrid...was complicated. That's to say, I found her a bit annoying at the start of the book. I mean, who finds a dead body and right away without having met any of the local police, decides they will probably bungle it so she might as well investigate herself??!! That said, she quickly becomes a lot more likeable and by the end of the book I loved her character. Overall, this was a solid read and an entertaining first book in an ongoing series. I am looking forward to diving into book two!
