Lizzie Lamb Why Lizzie loves this book

I loved the slow burn romance(s) in the book and wondered who Maisie would choose in the end. I loved that Maisie Blooman amateur sleuthwas a teacher, just like me. The book features a Yorkshire village setting, which was charming and provided me with plenty of smiles and lots of humourous incidents.

If you like cozy crime with lots of humour, this is the book for you.

This book did it for me, and I really wanted to know the outcome for the heroine who was living in a time when women were devalued. Luckily(!), the Black Death came along and all that changed.
