This was a splendid book.

Well written with fantastically interesting characters. Granted, there were times that I thought Georgia was a bit too whiney but given what she'd gone through, I guess I'd whine a bit too.

This is one of these "solve the murder in the past and present" type of cozy mystery. Peter and Georgia research and write books (and I think articles) on past mysteries, with Peter doing most of the writing and Georgia doing the legwork as former police officer Peter was injured on duty and is in a wheel chair.

The more than Georgia delves into Wickenham's past, the more resentful the townsfolks become. This mixture of resentment and present feuds makes for a dandy mystery.

This is the first book in the series and I'd like to read more, assuming I can get them for a decent price. They are a long read, but totally worthwhile.

A solid 5 paws.
