The Busy Body by Kemper Donovan is an entertaining contemporary cozy mystery that is the first in a promising new series.

I really enjoyed this unique spin and addition to the cozy mystery market.

Contemporary yet classic with an Agatha Christie feel, I really liked following along with our main characters as they are thrown together in unique circumstances, yet join forces to solve the murder. Mystery, quirky characters, and an addictive narrative with surprises, sarcasm, and heart.

4/5 stars
