Book Rating

Light and enjoyable

As chick lit books go, this is fairly good. Yes it’s a little cheesy and it’s beyond predictable, but it’s well written and easy to connect with all 3 of the main characters in some way across the course of the book. They all have flaws, lots of them in some cases, and there are times when some of their actions become very frustrating. That said, it was a light hearted and sweet book that was quick and enjoyable to read. Not one I’d rush to recommend unless you're into these sorts of books - for me it was just a quick read before moving onto something more serious.

A good old fashioned murder mystery brought up to speed for the modern-day.

I listened to the audiobook read by Rory Kinnear who had a bit of an uperty sounding accent to me but it worked well for the character of the author who ends up trailing ex DI Hawthorne as he investigates a murder with mysterious circumstances. It's a cleverly written book.

The characters are on the grating side but it's embraced in the book and I think there is a lot of potential moving forward for this series to get into the details of the gruff no-nonsense Hawthorne. There's plenty to think about in this captivating mystery.
