☔ Fast-paced, funny, and delightfully chaotic
When It Rains is the fifth book in the Rex & Eddie series, and it might be the most fun yet. The setup is a hoot: a TV weather presenter receives threatening letters, and our favorite barely-competent detectives are hired to investigate. From there, it escalates quickly through newsroom politics, an angry ex-meteorologist and engagingly eccentric suspects, with enough red herrings and possible motives to you guessing.
The humor is sharp but unpretentious, with the kind of perfectly timed gags that feel effortless (but definitely aren’t). Rex and Eddie’s dynamic continues to be a highlight — they’re a mess, but they’re earnest, and that makes the whole thing work. You’re not just laughing at them; you’re rooting for them.
This is a quick read, but it doesn’t feel slight. The plot clips along, the jokes land, and the tone stays consistent all the way through. If you like your mysteries with heart, pace, and a solid dose of absurdity, When It Rains is a great place to spend the afternoon.

Cosy Crime Cloisterham Style
Read as advance reader. The welcome return of Rex and Eddie after a long break. Still bickering, still barely able to make ends meet, but living their dream as private detectives. Local "characters" , laugh out loud humour, but perhaps surprisingly, genuine emotion and thrills.

For me this series of stories about
relatively inept detectives (Rex & Eddie)
are delightfully engaging! I have to admit
to reading them more than once and look
forward (exceedingly) to anything new
because the humor is just so genuinely
F U N N Y : ) Read them*
