I was interested in this book because I thought the cover design was eye-catching and pretty, and from the description, it sounded like a cosy mystery, and cosy mysteries are a type of book that I enjoy, so I was pleased to be approved to read and review this.

I haven't read any books in this series before, but I enjoyed it; it was a pleasant, light-hearted cosy mystery read. I identified with Lucy as a character - I appreciated that she was a librarian, and the talk of books and a book club. Initially, I didn't really like or relate to any of the other characters, but I warmed to them a little more as I read on. This was light enough to read in one evening, and I would say it was the type of book that I might choose if I wanted something to help me relax or cheer me up a little.

I think I would be interested in reading some more books from this series, and I would recommend it to those who enjoy cosy mysteries. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book.
