Loved it! This is a cozy mystery that is a quick read. I love how the murder kicks off right in the beginning, so that Amelia and her friend Ethan start sleuthing on their own to help discover why someone wanted to kill their friend Beatrice and see justice done. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series.
