This was a very good first novel and a well paced read ,a Cornish mystery,funny,with very detailed and recognisable characters, I look forward to reading more about Isobel Pat and the their amusing and uniquely Cornish way if life.

[Catherine Loomis · Rating 5 out of 5]

A village mystery that's packed with memorable characters and not-too-gory thrills. The setting--a tiny Cornish village in winter--and the heroine--who rises above sorrow and breakfast-making for strangers--offer plenty of surprises. The mystery at the story's center is intriguing and believable, but the great fun is right inside that Second Envelope.

[Elizabeth Ducie · Rating 3 out of 5]

A young woman recovering from life's traumas, hidden away in Cornwall, gets pulled into investigating a crime when a dead body appears - and then disappears - in the guest house she is looking after. Some fun characters and great potential for more in the series. Recommended for lovers of the genre.

I loved the intrigue, the surprising characters, the slow-burn reveal of Isabel’s former life, the clear delight in language, and most of all the wit. The ‘buttered baps’ will stay with me for a long time and had me laughing out loud. Please write more, Suzy!
