This is a clean cozy mystery that most will enjoy
What happens in this mystery:
Morgan and Fiona Blackmoore enjoy their simple life in the sleepy ocean-side town of Noquitt Maine where they offer herbal remedies and crystal healing for locals and tourists alike.
...Until Morgan is accused of killing the town shrew, Prudence Littlefield.
Then the mystery starts…….
My thoughts:
Although the plot makes questionable sense it still provides an interesting read. It takes us at a quaint town where shops are so appealing you wants to step in and sample their herbs or crystals, we have the most amazing cat that is cunning and seems to read your mind and you will step into an attic filled with mystery, so what it not to like.
The main characters are sisters Morgan, Fiona, Jolene Blackmore and a dashing police officer Jake Cooper.
The narrative is simple and switches between one sister to the other following this back and forth can be confusing at times but I managed to place which one took center stage eventually. The language is clean and clear so is the narrative. The plot moves at a slow pace and keeps this way till the very end.
Solving a murder as described here is illogical in my view: I don’t think, police would give suspect access to a murder scene to trample on the evidence but doing so may have been the solution here. You will see….
Belladonna, the cat, antics are so spooky I was wondering when it would change into a witch…quite intriguing, I think this cat won my heart.
In whole the simpleness and how everything smoothly falls into place without an itch makes reading this mystery a relaxing read: no challenge and no words seeking clarification. clear and simple from start to finish.
