I was a little hesitant about this book as at first I thought it might be a another overly christian based mystery with a lot of bible references (since the main character is a reverend). Well that is not the case with this mystery. Lindsay is a not your average reverend! This is a true cozy mystery for any fan of the genre and will have you liking Lindsay from the moment the character jumps on the page.

This cozy mystery is dedicated to Mary Stewart, and that should tell you something! A fan of gothic romantic suspense, the author has done a great job of incorporating the common elements of that genre into a cozy mystery.

I've always loved Mary Stewart, Phyllis Whitney, Victoria Holt, and similar authors, so I was very excited to hear about this cozy. I was not disappointed. There's the young heroine, living in an unfamiliar house, the "is he good or is he bad" guy, and the "he must be good but there's something we don't like about him" guy, and lots of other suspicious characters for us to distrust. All of these elements, combined with a modern mystery and a likable amateur sleuth, created a story I didn't want to put down.

This one also wrapped up a little differently than most cozies - the reader is left with a pretty good idea of what the characters will be doing at the beginning of the next book. I can't wait for it!

Book Rating
Egg Drop Dead is the 7th Cackleberry Club mystery and I will definitely be going back to catch up with this series. Suzanne, Toni, and Petra were such affable, believable women, that mid-way through the book I felt as though they were people I really knew, and not just characters in a story. Add to that a well-paced mystery and you have a really enjoyable cozy.
  
MoMoBookDiary enjoyed this murder mystery.

The first in the series on Melissa Craig. I am looking forward to reading book two next.

It is an ideal summer holiday (beach) read, with a writer-cum-sleuth trying to solve a murder which was committed in the vicinity of her new home - Hawthorn Cottage.

Set in a quaint little village - Ideal for fans of Agatha Raisin series

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this cozy mystery..
