I am late to the table with this author and this series but glad I read this
A great series set in Derbyshire, a chocolate box cottage village. Amatuer detective Violet Breswter is on the case again. When a book festival is to be held in this village up pops an author who left the village some 18 years with no reason, she is then found dead. Thus begins the twitiching of curtains and the villagers are suspects.
Lots of red herrings and twists to this cosy murder.

So wrap your self in a blanket get the hot chocolate and relax for a good read.

Violet has agreed to help at Merrywell's first book festival by interviewing the key note author. Little does she know that both murder and her ex-husband will be complicating her life the next day. A charming mystery with plenty of village charm.

Really enjoyed this cozy mystery. First I've read by this author and first I've read about Violet Brewster. Small town sleuth, with lots of side characters to go through. Fun read following the clues. Would highly recommend.

Another triumph for Violet in Merrywell!

Jane Bettany has another hit on her hands, and it should be your next cozy mystery read.

The author has a knack for small town English cottage mystery stylings, while keeping us enthralled with modern, realistic characters with depth and dimension. It was a pleasure to have another romp through Merrywell when a murder turns out to be a case of mistaken identity.

Or is it??

Bettany provides many suspects and varied red herrings to keep us clutching the pages until the end. I look forward to the next installment in the Violet Brewster series.

Good book!. This book was a decent read! It had the usual, it had suspense, intrigue, revenge, murder, mystery, a great who done it, and some crazy twists and turns! The storyline was interesting and flowed nicely! I would recommend reading this book as it was worth reading! Its not one of my all time favorite but still worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
