: 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (4,195) Paperback £9.99
Fans of Faith Martin, Jane Adams, Frances Evesham, M.C. Beaton, Clare Chase or Jeanne M. Dams will love this addictive cozy mystery Although theres a distinctly dark edge to the story at times, theres a really lovely lightness to the writing with plenty of warmth, and the most perfectly judged touches of humour. This is the kind of crime writing I enjoy. Annie Williams, RNA Media Star of the Year

READERS LOVE MURDER AMONG THE ROSES: What a gripping full on story that will have you turning the pages one by one, as the characters bring the book to life, a stand alone cozy murder mystery that I enjoyed to the end. Booklover B. The mystery itself had many, many twists and turns leading to the big reveal at the end, and I can honestly say that I was completely surprised I highly recommend this cozy mystery.
