After Cath’s estranged mother dies and Cath is going through her things, she finds a ticket for a murder-mystery week in England. Baffled but intrigued, she decides to go. All the residents in a Peak District town come together to stage a fake murder in hopes of attracting tourism. Cath eagerly teams up with her cottagemates—Wyatt, who works unhappily in his husband’s birding shop, and Amity, a divorced romance writer who is hoping to gain inspiration for her next book. As they gather clues and interview suspects, Cath also learns shocking and potentially life-altering truths about her mother and has a fling with a handsome barman. By week’s end, Cath, Wyatt, and Amity have forged firm friendships, solved a tricky crime, and smoothed out some serious wrinkles in their own lives.
VERDICT This charming and heartfelt cozy from Dukess (The Last Book Party) is just the thing for a rainy afternoon and a cup of tea. The dialogue is snappy, the characters are endearing, and the plot is satisfyingly quirky.
