This book started out with characters who were not likable, but if you persevere, you start to understand them, and even begin to like them. I'm happy with the ending, though, and liked the story.

Molly and Matt are on their honeymoon and are visiting her Great-Aunt Tessa in the small village of Marlow Crossing, England. Molly is introduced to her aunt’s neighbour, Tiffany, through her cat that spends as much time at Tessa’s house as Tiffany’s. When the Molly finds Tiffany dead, she wants to help find the murderer. Inspector Devon Boyle, who is nearing retirement, asks her to help, as he does not have the time or money to interview some of the friends and acquaintances who might have some information. With Matt heading home and Clara, Molly’s mom joining her, the investigation heats up.
I really enjoy the dual storylines in these books. The origin of the eye miniature was very well integrated into the story and I was very intrigued with this part of the story. The mystery was also interesting and fast paced and I read this book very quickly. Molly again shows her intelligence and the wonderful way she interacts with others, especially when getting information out of them. I loved the setting of a small English Village and the characters that lived there. Another very solid mystery with a historical storyline as well. I am really enjoying this series and the turn it has taken with the addition of co-author Parker Riggs. I am looking forward to the next adventure in the life of Molly Applebee.
