Summary and rating of 4.8
This is a new author for me and I really liked the book. The story was well written and moved along at a great pace. It wasn’t so much the crime, but the psychology of the people left behind after a murder. There were no suspects and not though it was murder; but loved ones of the person who died are trying to move on and get their lives back in order. It was different approach to a cozy mystery, and I really enjoyed it!
