Perfect Comfort Fodder…
Another satisfying read in this fifth of the Kipper Cottage series of mysteries - this time a potential death at sea is the centre of attention and when the body of a fisherman is washed up on the beach the mystery is compounded. Liz also finds herself amidst a barrage of requests from those who need her help - which she can never refuse. Warm, engaging and empathetic mystery with an endearing, yet feisty and smart, protagonist in Liz and a colourful cast of supporting characters - not least of which is the wonderful Nelson, quite possibly the bravest dog in Yorkshire. The setting of Whitby and environs is perfectly painted, nicely depicted and works ideally as a backdrop to the mystery. The plot is well worked and intriguing, suspects numerous and red herrings well planted. A thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining mystery which was gratefully devoured in one straight sitting. Perfect comfort fodder.
