The Perfect Cozy Mystery
If you love cozy mysteries, you’re sure to love Season for Murder because it has it all: humor, romance, not a lot of gore, even some critters, and a satisfactory conclusion, all set in a charming village in the Cotswolds.

Having read the first 2 books in the series, I was curious to find out what was in store for the FitzMorris ladies this time. I must admit this one is my favourite.
From the beginning, we know who the murderer is. We meet her as she is sitting plotting who she needs to eliminate in order for her to succeed in her plan for her husband. I felt this was a nice change to the usual format.
We meet the regular characters from the village again, along with a few newcomers. I felt this added to the storyline as we had a potential romance too. Add to this the author's usual humour which helps relieve the tension.
Dee, Zara and Amelia are such different but great characters and I hope they will be back helping solve more crimes soon
This was definitely a lovely, easy read cosy crime which I would recommend.

Humourous whodunnit style plot, with cunning schemes that go awry, investigative neighbours, and a delusional and paranoid murderer with a twisted scheme and murder list.
I liked how there were lots of character subplots and individual dramas going on, and the setting of the Cotswolds and upper class social events.
There's a great mix of tension and humour, you know the killer from chapter 1 but it's fascinating seeing the descent into madness and the inventive criminal attempts.
I liked the developing romance, going from fake dating to friends to lovers, and the interference of a third party trying to cause a rift. I just wish Emily had been more confident and pushed back more to stake her claim.
Overall this is a fun cosy crime mystery that gave me midsummer murders vibes, and I didn't expect the ending.

I love visiting the FitzMorris ladies and catching up with their zany adventures.
This is the third book, and I thoroughly enjoyed each one. This one is set leading up to an All Hallow's Eve party, similar to Halloween. But it's also time to announce a new Lord-Lieutenant. Being American, I only vaguely understand this, but it's some monarchy-based public office. And apparently, somebody wants it enough to kill for it. Considering that's how lots of people became nobility in the past, this doesn't seem that far off to my American sensibilities—just kidding, probably.
Either way, it's delightful to visit with the three generations of FitzMorris ladies as the matriarch, Dee, narrowly escapes death, and all three definitely listen when the local cops tell them not to interfere with police business. This has a special impact when not one but two of them are head-over-heels in love with two of the FitzMorris ladies.
The cast of characters that makes up the town is just as fun - featuring two clowns, a grumpy anti-establishment ranter, a pleasant lady vicar, and several other colorful personalities. If you need a nice, gentle vacation with just a little side of mild murder, I always think you can never go wrong with a cozy mystery. And this is a fantastic, sweet series. It ticks all the boxes and has a wonderful cast.
The plot was complex enough that it kept me going but not so hard that I had to work for it. Just what I want when I pick up a cozy. A good mystery, but not a mind-boggling, headache-inducing one. And characters feel like people you'd want to know and visit with. I absolutely can't wait for the next one!
Who's It For?
If you're a cozy mystery fan, you will love this series. This one, set near Halloween or All Hallow's Eve and drenched in all manner of cozy aspects, is especially amazing for the average cozy lover. I can't recommend this series for cozy lovers enough. It's my favorite genre, alongside thrillers, and has been for more than a decade, so unlike some of the other genres, I know a good one when I see it! I also love that, except for the obvious ones, it's hard to come up with content warnings for cozy mysteries. And, often, even if they are there, they're dealt with delicately and gently. So, if you need a break from the bad of the world, visit a world where things are going bad, but somehow, it feels really cozy.

If you enjoy a rollicking good story told with wit and irreverence, you will enjoy Season for Murder from Anna A Armstrong as she deviously weaves a light-hearted and yet murderous pathway to obtaining the golden crown of Lord-Lieutenant’s wife.
Vivian Plover has her heart set on husband Christopher becoming the next Lord – Lieutenant of the region and she has decided that nothing, and she means nothing, will stand in his way. She is a woman who considers she and her husband to be the perfect people to fulfil the role of the Monarch’s representative for the coming year.
Sitting in the Cemetery at Little Worthington she is happily dreaming of the stellar day and making plans accordingly; as she says in any war there are to be casualties. Serious contenders are Jo and Sebastian as well as Jim Stuart. Dee FitzMorris is considered as someone who needs to be removed as well, as she is a bit too successful at everything she undertakes and is a bit too well liked, for Vivian’s comfort
Her Godson Tristan seems to have become engaged to none other than Emily Langdon which does not impress her either, but with the Michaelmas Ball coming up in only a few weeks, planning must go ahead regardless of the obstacles placed in her way.
Ah, so much to get sorted out and so little time. Dee becomes unwell, but recovers, but a fire at the hide where birdwatchers Dee and Jo are enjoying birdwatching, almost achieves Vivian’s desires. The hide, made of wood catches fire, the door locked from the outside. They both manage to escape but Jo is seriously burnt.
Vivian simply regroups and comes at the problem from another perspective. Nothing seems to be falling into place as she had so carefully planned, after all, committing murder is not really that hard. But she is congratulating herself that while not killing anyone, at least this time, she seems to be eliminating the other contenders relatively well.
Or is she?
Season for Murder is a delightfully irreverent cozy murder that will captivate until the final, deadly result is achieved, and the next Lord-Lieutenant is elected.

I was sent a copy of this book for review.
With a backdrop of jam making and Halloween celebration prep, we glimpse the lengths Vivian will go to guarantee her sweet and unambitious husband gets the upcoming office of Lord-Lieutenant. After being considered unworthy by her family in her youth, Vivian will stop at nothing, including murdering the other potential Lord-Lieutenant hopefuls, to ensure that no one thwarts her plans for securing the Lord-Lieutenant job and increasing her social standing. What makes this story both funny and somewhat farfetched, but in best possible way, is Vivian comes up with ingenious ways to bump someone off yet virtually fails spectacularly in the attempts.
Meanwhile, Vivian’s godson Tristan returns home and brings his friend Emily with him. To prevent Vivians’s attempts to marry him off, Tristan asks Emily to pretend to be his fiancée. The platonic best friends start to view each other in a new light and the “fake relationship” trope plays out in a cute will-they/won’t-they manner. The only issue is another woman is also vying for Tristian’s affections. I really liked Tristian and Emily and their chemistry was easy to spot straight away. I did wish Emily would stand up for herself more when the other woman played tricks on her. She was too nice and let Tristan off the hook way too quickly. Dee, the village sleuth, is a brilliant character. She was funny, adventurous, and quick witted which made for hilarious scenes as she investigated the murders and looked for possible suspects. Her family members get in on the act which adds a sweet aspect to the plot.
I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was perfect for this story. She was wonderful at bringing all the characters to life especially Vivian and her weird and wacky murderous inner thoughts. This added to the quirky narrative style and clever dialogue. If you love a quaint village setting for your murder mysteries, like the banter of Thursday Murder Club and the feel of Midsomer Murders, this is the book for you as it is an entertaining mix of all three.

I was sent this book by Literally PR to read and review and was rather surprised to find that it is part of a series, but I have never heard of the author before. I enjoy murder mysteries of all different types. This is ‘Cozy’ mystery.
The fact that it was one of a series became quite obvious early on when reference was made to an earlier adventure in which the Fitzmorris family had been involved.
The story centres around Little Warthing, a chocolate box Cotswold village and the inhabitants. The village boasts the usual things required for a cosy mystery – a lovely gay couple, on of whom runs an interiors shop, a socially inept but upper-class lady, anxious to improve her family status, a good-looking policeman who is attracted to the main character who is Dee FitzMorris, a gorgeous delicatessen and children’s entertainers who often walk around dressed as clowns! Dee is the very attractive matriarch whose daughter and granddaughter support her in her investigations.
The first murder is referred to on the very first page, although it happened some time ago. This gives the reader some expectations of who will commit the murders which will, inevitably, follow.
I like the technique which Ms Armstrong uses of printing the thoughts of the characters in italics, whilst describing their actions. The story is, as one might expect, pleasant, rather than horrifying, but none the worse for that. I don’t always want dismembered bodies and blood everywhere, or to be scared to put out the light!
Tales of jam being delivered in a basket on a bike, by a beautiful grandmother, who then discovers a dead body can never be too terrifying but are certainly entertaining.
I got rather bored by the constant reference to the hair colour of the FitzMorris ladies (saffron/flame coloured, apparently) and the clothes they wore to complement this, but that is my only criticism.

Here is my review for Season For Murder by Anna A Armstrong
This was a beautiful book to read, it was a lovely cosy crime mystery which I really enjoyed. It’s book three of the series so I’m late to the party but it’s easy to read as a standalone and pick up who the characters are. I got into the story straight away and it was placed in the lovely cotswolds. Most of the characters were likeable. I found that the book was easy to read and I liked the writing style. The plotting was excellent and It’s possible that the author did some research before writing this book for certain things. I would really like to catch up with the rest of the series as I enjoyed this one so much, the story was very enjoyable and very well written. A series to be enjoyed.
Enjoy a visit to the idyllic Cotswolds where the blackberry jam is delicious, the pumpkins are ripe and a killer is plotting death.
Vivian Plover is an unlikely murderer but needs must. If her bumbling husband is ever going to reach the exalted office of Lord-Lieutenant, Vivian, in sensible shoes, twin set and pearls has some murderous work to do. She is beset by challenges, from her godson’s fake fiancée to Dee’s meddling.
With the worthies of Little Warthing falling foul of accidents, can Dee FitzMorris thwart her scheme or will she find herself yet another victim?
Rarely has murder been so amusing.
Indulge in this quirky and humorous cozy crime novel that will keep you entertained from start to finish. Set in modern-day England, amidst the charming British Cotswold countryside, "Season for Murder" delivers a captivating blend of mystery and comedy. With its light-hearted atmosphere and engaging whodunit plot, this British detective series is a must-read for fans of cozy crime murder mysteries.

Do you like a good murder mystery without the gore, profanity and violence? Prior to reading Season for Murder, I wouldn’t have been so sure. I’m a fan of police crime thrillers with all of the above. But this cosy mystery book, written by Anna A Armstrong, is a bit of light-hearted entertainment. Great for when your brain needs less to worry about!
Before we start reading, we know the guilty party. No-one suspects dear Vivian, with her pearl necklaces and holier-than-thou personality. Season for Murder is a lesson in not falling for appearances – and the lengths someone can go to for power and status. The perfect village in the cosy Cotswolds is hiding a murderer.
Then of course there’s a spanner thrown into the works when the first socialist to ever live in the village arrives – or so it seems by the not so warm welcome he receives – and everyone wants him to be guilty. For me, he’s rather a refreshing addition, amongst the string of rather conservative – and often unlikeable – characters.
Suddenly ballroom dancing and jam making is put on the back seat. There is a mystery to solve and a murderer to stop. It certainly adds some life to a rather sleepy village. One where nothing much out of the ordinary ever seems to happen.
And of course, this cosy mystery wouldn’t be complete without a hint of romance – think rom-com meets murder mystery. Bridget Jones meets Miss Marple.
I enjoyed this quirky and humorous cosy mystery, as my first toe into the genre. I can’t say I’d be swapping my crime thrillers out anytime soon, but I’ll look a little closer at the next title I see. It might be set around Halloween, but it’s still a great cosy read for Christmas.

This is the third book in this brilliant mystery series - The FitzMorris Family Mysteries - and having become totally hooked by the first two books - Corpse In The Chard and Murder On The Isle - I was really looking forward to diving into this new adventure.
I loved that this storyline was slightly different to the other books, whereby we start by seeing who the murderer is.
Vivien is determined that her husband will be the next Lord Lieutenant and we see her plotting his route to success as she works out who in the village needs to be 'got rid of'.
Unfortunately, now back on home ground after her last adventure, Dee is back to her meddling ways and although not in contention, Vivien knows that she uses a threat to her plans.
Written in the third person, we are able to follow each strand of the storyline as it weaves around the rest and this also allows us to get to know our cast of characters well.
There was a fair amount going on throughout but it was easy to keep track of each group and follow the strands until they finally all come together for the final twist.
The characters, as usual, are a perfect mix.
Obviously Dee and the girls were brilliant - but I also really loved the addition of Emily and Tristan. Their storyline was so lovely woven inbetween the plotting and scheming.
This was a little less the usual whodunit - but I loved all the ins and outs of the different threads and the slow decline of Vivien's plans - as well as seeing the different dynamics in each of the character groups where the humour creeps in.
Another brilliant read and obviously I'm now (not so) patiently awaiting book 4!

My Opinion
Season For Murder is the third book in a series, unfortunately I haven't read the first two books but I was able to enjoy this book. I listened to this as an audiobook at 2x speed and for me, the audiobook worked well.
Anna was a new author to me, but with cosy delights like this I am sure I will be back for more in the future. For a relatively short book there is plenty going on, with a lot of drama. This is going to make for a great read as the season starts to change.

What's interesting about this charming cozy mystery is that it is less a "whodunnit" and more of a "how catch 'em". We're treated from the get-go to the villain's interiority and general plans: who she's going to murder and how. The fun of it lies in watching our plucky heroines figure it out in time.
Dee FitzMorris is essentially a hippie Jessica Fletcher: in this charming little village in the Cotswolds, she's the resident amateur sleuth, charming us with her gardening, baking, yoga and craft projects. She has an adult daughter and goth granddaughter who usually come along for the fun, whether that fun is preparing for the Michaelmas Ball or breaking into someone's house to try and find evidence of a murder.
The sense of place is strong in this entire tale: the autumnal settings, the cottages, the immaculate gardens, well-stocked delicatessens with fresh breads and cheeses. If you have an itch to escape to the English countryside, this story will definitely scratch it.
I don't mind a lot of characters, but readers who have a hard time keeping straight a large cast and many POVs may struggle with this one. I lost count of the POVs somewhere after eight. However, I was generally able to follow along well enough and enjoy the splendid scenery, quirky characters and cute-as-a-button romantic subplots.
My only other complaint is for the love of God, someone please treat the poor vicar to a makeover.

This is the third book in The FitzMorris Family Mystery series of which I have read the first two books but it’s definitely not essential. We again meet up with Dee, Zara and Amelia in the quaint village of Little Warthing in the Cotswolds.
The current Lord Lieutenant is retiring from office so it’s time to appoint someone new to the role. There are a few contenders but Vivian Plover is determined the role should go to her husband, Christopher, and will do anything to ensure it happens. She thinks nothing of taking out the competition by whatever means necessary which causes some of the other contenders to have some rather unfortunate accidents. Will the FitzMorris ladies and the police ever get to the bottom of what’s happening?
Like the other two books this story flows at a good pace but this time we know who the culprit is from the start. So rather than a whodunnit this is a when will they be caught mystery. I was really looking forward to reading about the FitzMorris ladies again and I wasn’t disappointed. For me these books are such a comfort read filled with mystery but not all the blood and gore. There are moments of humour throughout which gives a nod to the nuances of living in a small village. A village which I can really picture in my head as it’s described in a way that you feel like you’re there.
I really hope there is more to come in this series as i would love to see what else is in store for these beloved characters.
The current Lord Lieutenant is retiring from office so it’s time to appoint someone new to the role. There are a few contenders but Vivian Plover is determined the role should go to her husband, Christopher, and will do anything to ensure it happens. She thinks nothing of taking out the competition by whatever means necessary which causes some of the other contenders to have some rather unfortunate accidents. Will the FitzMorris ladies and the police ever get to the bottom of what’s happening?

Season for Murder is an absolutely delightful cozy mystery novel. It is an absolute page-turner from beginning to end.
Where most cozy mystery novels are "whodunnit" style, this book lets you know from the beginning who the murderer or attempted murderer is. I wasn't sure how I would feel about this, but it honestly does not detract from the storyline. If anything it heightens it! Shocking! I know! But it is an absolute delight because we get to be in the "killer's" head as she goes about plotting how to bump off her various victims. And let me tell, you it's quite a few! LOL!
This book gives you the mystery as the victims keep piling up! You can't help but wonder how this woman gets away with so much, but don't worry. The pieces come together for the other characters eventually.
One of my favorite characters is Dee FitzMorris herself. She is an absolute delight! She's so energetic, engaging, caring, and while she is a "busy-body" she's a good person. She truly shines in this book.
This book is part of a series, but can be read as a standalone. You'll be eager to dive into the other books in this series though so be prepared! LOL!
This book is an absolute must-read so don't miss out!
5 out of 5 stars!

This is the first time I’ve read this author & I started at book 3 in the FitzMorris Family Mystery series; neither fact matters & I caught up very quickly. I live very close to the Cotswolds, where the book is set, which is partly the reason I chose to read it & the fact that it is a cosy mystery; I needed a change from my usual hard bitten crime thrillers.
Set in the village of Little Warthing, there is a large cast of characters & at the centre are three generations of formidable FitzMorris women: granny Dee, daughter Zara & granddaughter Amelia. The plot is driven by the upcoming announcement of the new Lord Lieutenant & the unfailing ability of prospective candidates being attacked in a variety of fiendish ways. We know who the perpetrator is from the outset & follow their haughty plans with relish.
Very easy to read with various insights into the characters given through their written thoughts. This book doesn’t take itself too seriously, although the constant descriptions of hair colour/skin tone did start to get a tad grating. Add in a vicar obsessed with Jane Austen & a brash American ‘It’ Girl & you have a great holiday read.

I really enjoyed this book! It begins in a completely different way to other crime books I’ve read. It begins with the killer, Vivian, surveying her village from a bench and plotting who she needs to kill next. She is on a mission to rise to the top of the social ladder and nobody will stand in her way. Vivian was cunning, conniving and manipulative. However, she wasn’t a very skilled murderer, which added a bit of humour to the story, I wouldn’t have been surprised if she had said “Drats, foiled again!” She had a very warped sense of self as she had sp not her whole life trying to prove that she wasn’t a failure. I really liked the character of Dee because she was head strong and determined, the real heart of the village and Vivian’s number 1 nemesis! This is a well written story that played out just as it should have. It is an easy read and flows nicely. I loved the small village feel of it, how everyone knew everyone and the sense of community. I really enjoyed being immersed in this fabulous read!

I enjoyed this cosy mystery set in the Cotswold with a refreshing take on the genre which felt like Agatha Christie with a touch of P.G Wodehouse.
I received a copy of the book for a free and unbiased opinion.
Season for Murder is one in a series of books featuring the FitzMorris Family but this can be read by itself without needing to read the other books in the series.
Set in the village of Little Worthing, a village in the Cotswold full of interesting people including Dee, the taekwondo loving, detective Dee and her daughter and granddaughter who become caught up in Vivian Plover plot to remove by any means necessary anyone who stand in the way of her ambitions. The fact Vivian ambition is to make her husband Lord Lieutenant of the village, adds to the humour of her murder spree.
I love the fact we know from the start who the potential murderer is and we can view the story from her perspective including being foiled by the local amateur detective.
The villagers little personal dramas made entertaining reading especially as Dee tries to gently fix this.

The perfect read to get you into that autumn feeling.
The cosy vibes on this novel had me hooked! This is the perfect time of year to read this humorous murder tale. I so easily could picture myself in the Cotswolds along side these amazing characters that Anna has written, you can tell the time she took to craft each of these characters out with how realistic they felt to me while I was reading.
This is a part of a series, but this was my first book and I had no trouble reading it as a standalone, however after devouring this I for sure will be going back and reading the other books. The plot flowed so well and I constantly found myself struggling to put this down when I had things I had to get done. I enjoyed Armstrong's unique writing style and how we got a peek into the main characters thoughts at times while reading. I cant tell you how much I loved this book but if you like me love fall vibes, cosy mysteries and characters you cant help but love then you need to pick this one up asap!

Season For Murder is Book 3 of The Fitzmorris Family Mysteries Series.
Dee, Zara, and Amelia are back in another cosy mystery! This time, can Dee and her family stop the murderer in time?
Once again, we have a gorgeous hand-drawn front cover that fits in beautifully with the previous 2 books.
As always, Anna's books are absolutely hilarious, and Book 3 is no different with the family back to their mystery solving ways.
What I love about Anna's books the most are the strong women that inhabit these stories and how they wrap around the story to bring it to life!
This book has the main story of Vivian Plover attempting to eliminate all those who stand in the way of her husband reaching the office of Lord Lieutenant but with other sub-plots weaving their way throughout the story.
This is the perfect book for a hot chocolate and biccies in front of a logburner on a colder autumn evening.
If you haven't already met Anna and her family, then you absolutely need to give this series a go - you will NOT regret it, I can't recommend this book enough!

Thank you to @lovebookstours for inviting us onto this cosy crime book tour.
This is book 3 and I haven't yet got around to reading the other 2 but they are on my pile to read I found I had no problem reading as a standalone.
I love a good cosy crime book but this one I found different and loved it because you actually know who has committed the crime from the beginning we know that Vivian is plotting a crime for for her husbands sake but it's nice going along and wandering what exactly will give the game away and make people realise she is the guilty one. It's set in the cotswolds which sounds like a lovely place to visit. I enjoyed reading this and loved the humor and the little bit of romance I could see going on. I can not wait to read the other books with dee, zara and Amelia this Is a wonderful little set to read you won't want to put it down I tried many times but had to keep reading

My first time reading from the author but it will not be the last. I love cozy crime and this book reminded me of Midsomer Murders which is one of my favourites.
As someone coming into this series at book 3 there were nods to previous novels that I didn't understand, but that didn't dampen my enjoyment at all.
The cast of characters was well rounded and typical of what I think of with English village life. I laughed out loud at parts of the audiobook and wanted the story to continue so I could spend more time in this village.
As the main antagonists plans became more unhinged I couldn't put this book down. The ending was not what I expected at all.
I will definitely be going back to the first two FitzMorris mysteries while I eagerly await the next book to see what Dee gets up to.

absolutely love cozy crime and Season For Murder did not disappoint! It was a very very slow burn, I’m talking like last chapter reveal type but that didn’t destroy the vibes at all! The way Anna Armstrong wrote the characters and the town of Little Warthing I genuinely felt like I knew them all personally and I’d lived there all my life. This was the coziest of crime stories I have ever read, the fact that you already know who the ‘murderer’ is from the beginning makes the read even more enjoyable because you really need to know if she gets her comeuppance! It was a really good twist on the classic who dunnit types of cozy crimes and the ending was so quick and clean and to the point, I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish! If you are a cozy crime enthusiast I recommend Season For Murder!

Book 3 in the Fitz-Morris family drama, and we are back in Little Warthing where trouble is never far away.
This book has a slightly different feel. Usually, I'm kept guessing all the way through for the Whodunit murder mystery, but this time, we knew who and why from the start. This isn't a bad thing. It just gave the story a different feel.
There is plenty of humour throughout, I just love Dee and her endless optimism and internal musings.
I'm intrigued by her new neighbour and how that will play out. Of course, Cat has taken to going to visit him, Cat's taste in humans leaves a lot to be desired.
The relationships between the central characters, such as Nicholas and Zara, seem to be progressing slowly, and I desperately want to see how this carries on.
What could be next for this unfortunate village? I can't wait to find out.

I was already a massive fan of Anna's books, and I absolutely adore the FitzMorris ladies. So I was delighted to be back with them in the beautiful Cotswolds, solving yet another murder mystery.
Dee, Zara and Amelia were as delightful as always, and there were a few new faces to get to know in this book as well. I respect liked Emily and Tristan.
I like that we knew who the killer was in this book, their motive and potential victims weren't immediately clear. But once I knew, it all made perfect sense. Not that murder is the answer!
This is a genuine, laugh out loud, cosy murder story perfect for winter evenings under a blanket, or summer afternoons in the garden.
I really hope the FitzMorris ladies will be back for more murder and mischief in the future.

Here we have Book Three in 'The Fitzmooris Family Mysteries'. I've had the pleasure of reading and reviewing books 1 & 2, so I was looking forward to see what was instore for me and it didn't disappoint at all. You can read this book as a standalone with no problem. The story is set in the Cotswold, a place that I know well, so even though the names of the places are different I could still see where and what the author was on about. Even though we know who the murder is and get to meet them, we still have to watch who the next victim is going to be. The story has a bit of everything...humour, romance, mystery, a friendly community and a handsome policeman. It's a book that I read in one sitting.

Season For Murder by Anna A Armstrong is a Cosy Mystery and the 3rd in the FitzMorris Family mystery series but it can be read as a standalone.
The book is based in the Cotswolds and the descriptions of the village are charming and authentic with the villagers a diverse group that are well thought out.
The book is an easy read, and the pages turn quickly with the lives of the inhabitants. If you have read any of the books in the series, this one continues with the endearing FitzMorris family and a whodunnit that reveals the perpetrator right from the start. But the book also has humour, wit and romance thrown in.
In conclusion a cosy mystery with great characters, humour and wit with a little romance thrown in for good measure.

The FitzMorris women are back for another cozy mystery and I enjoyed it! This time Dee is back home and life-changing secrets are being revealed and people are turning up dead. There is a twist in the narrative and readers are introduced to the person behind the crimes and part of the story is from their perspective while Dee and the police are scrambling to figure it out. I enjoyed seeing the familiar characters, they are feeling like friends and I want to spend more time with them. With the narrative spending so much time focused on the criminal I missed seeing more of the evolving relationships of the characters. All in all I enjoyed this and I look forward to reading more Fitzmorris mysteries.
Thanks to the author and Love Book Tours for providing a copy for my honest review.

I love a good cozy crime mystery and if it’s set in some small village even better. This book drew me in instantly and I am so glad I picked it up.
Vivian is a character who is somewhat unhinged but alongside her plans and plots there’s an element of humour as things don’t always go to plan.
Dee is a character that I instantly fell in love with. She has an innocent charm and naivety that I’m still not sure isn’t an act. But she is determined and she is strong.
There was of course a sideline love story to this plot which I enjoyed and I look forward to a follow up book which may tell more.
I am sure that Dee will find her self in more tricky situations and I can’t wait to read them.

Season For Murder Is book 3 in the FitzMorris Family Mysteries, and having read books 1 and 2 ( Corpse in the Chard a d Murder on the Isle ), I had an idea of what to expect, and the read certainly did not disappoint.
Set in a Cotswold village, with delightful characters, it's a light hearted read of escapism, romance and murder.
But it's also full of brilliant humour which takes the edge of the murderous moments.
Although a Murder mystery, it's the Cozy side of the genre so there's no gore, violence or profanity.
Different to most Murder mysteries, we know who the killer is from the start as we meet the killer, sitting on a bench, looking over the village, deciding who her next target will be.
It's a quirky read, it's well written, with believable characters and a well flowing storyline.
I read this in two sittings.
4 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 's from me.

Seasons for Murder is my first read by the author, and I what a delightful cosy mystery read. I thoroughly enjoyed it from the very first page. Even though the book is part of a series, it can definitely be read as a stand-alone.
I really loved the idea of knowing the murderer and I thought it added a certain joy knowing it. The characters were brilliantly developed, and I loved the three Fitzmorros ladies.
Seasons for Murder is beautifully written, slow burn, cosy mystery with a touch of romance and humour. I have ordered Murder on the Isle and Corpse in the Chard and can not wait to read them.
