I loved this book, and in fact, love the entire series of Elle Quicke books. The heroine is marvelous, a real woman, with a real, sometimes annoying family, and a host of entertaining villagers. Elle Quicke seems like someone I would enjoy knowing, and I have a lot of fun with her in this warm, amusing, very entertaining series. I also love the fact that dear Elle is over 40, because I get tired of reading about 20 and 30 year-olds!

I purchased this book because it was missing from my local library and I really do enjoy reading books that are a series. (I donated it to them when I finished) It's a fun murder mystery. The characters are endearing. The author covers her bases really well. Read it for fun because of course noone in their entire lifetime could have this many murders happen in one area. Hopefully, not.

This is book 6 or 7 in the series and finally the heroine has some guts!
I'm an anglophile so not used to heroines being this passive, even little old ladies. I have had to wait this long to really like the main charater, Ellie. I am surprised she is very popular in England, or maybe that is just the paid-for publicity reviews.
I am done with this series, won't waste my time or money again.
I did enjoy this story and am beginning to like most of the other characters, but there are other series out there much more enjoyable and worth the money.
This series is not a keeper for me. I have donated the 2 I've read to our local library.
Some of my book club friends didn't even want this book after reading a previous Ellie novel.
