A fun country house murder mystery set in Ireland written in the style of, I would say, Agatha Christie and perhaps Midsomer Murders. It starts off slowly, then the pace gathers speed, galloping along to an unexpected finish. There are many and varied characters. I particularly liked Merlin the cat. He’s such a hero and a great little personality. I also liked Clarissa who put me in mind of Endora from ‘Bewitched’. She’s a hoot, I almost expected her to dust off her broomstick! There is much to enjoy about this cosy and entertaining mystery and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Thanks to Pigeonhole and the author for the opportunity to read this book. Reading along with fellow readers is a bonus. ( )
