I really didn't care for the main character in this one. Yes, it's terribly sad that her fiance was murdered but she seemed to enjoy stringing people along instead of just saying she wasn't ready for the commitment. The mystery and the writing were excellent just a little more densely packed than I like in a cozy. I want 'em fluffy! So while this wasn't my cup of tea, I would definitely recommend this series to mystery buffs. Got this one from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my opinions.
