About the author
Matilda Adler
3 books4 followersMatila Adler has always loved to read, and she particularly loves to read those old-timey traditional mystery writers, like Agatha Christie and Dorothy L Sayers.
Matilda loves to travel - she has spent time in Africa and has visited every US state apart from Alaska - but she has always had a permenant home close to London. Until now...
She recently moved to the Balearic islands in Spain where the sun and the sea has fed her creativity to the extent that she feels ready to move from writing fantasy (under the name Jobie Baldwin) to traditional mysteries with a cozy feel. (That's cosy for her British readers).
Some might say that Amelia Ferver, Matilda's anxious but inspired protagonist, is a little too like Matilda to be entirely fictional. Matilda's keeping quiet on the matter.

This was an interesting, but convoluted story. I had some trouble connecting with the characters, of which there were many.

Quick introduction to Ameila and some backstory about her life prior to moving to the island in book 1 of the series. I enjoyed the character of Cecile and how she worked with Ameila to solve the crime and hope Cecile will show up in a future story.

This was a very short but complete mystery story. The characters were interesting. I would be interested in reading more from this series.
