Poison pen letters, villages full of gossip, tea at the vicarage... this couldn’t be more cozy if it tried and in a classic Agatha Christie style too. You will have to put on the kettle and make tea to drink while you read this! Ms Dunn does this style of thing very well, with plenty of period detail and a good underpinning of historical knowledge. It’s perfectly paced, and I didn’t guess it, although I did feel that the ending was a little rushed - a fault of this writer in some of her other books. But this minor fault did not detract from the enjoyable whole, and this remains a historical cozy series of which I am particularly fond. If you like this sort of thing at all, then this gets it all spot on.
