Welcome to Litsy!

I wanted to like this one, because Coles is pretty much a British National Treasure now, but it fell a bit flat for me. It‘s promoted as cosy crime but the first murder happens more than 80 pages in, and the main character don‘t really do any sleuthing, he seems to have “divine inspiration”. Good for a synopsis of a rural community in the 1980s, though.

@KarenUK really SOLD this book in her enthusiastic review which had me stacking SO FAST but truthfully this book really isn‘t in my wheelhouse. It‘s such a cozy -,full of British humor and English references that were totally lost on me. I can see it‘s appeal but #RightBookWrongReader 🤷🏼‍♀️ Thank you @squirrelbrain for gifting me this book 🩷 xx

I just saw Richard Coles. Which is obviously unusual, but made even more so by the fact we are up a Volcano. In Italy! I didn‘t want to disturb his vacation so didn‘t stop him.

The first in a series with the Canon Clement solving crime in his very sleep town/village. It's another cosy mystery and I enjoyed it and can see myself reading the next one.

The coziest of cozies…. Made me giggle, gave me Midsomer murders meets Miss Marple meets Thursday Murder club vibes… And written by the only British clergyman to have had a number one hit single. A fun palette cleanser… and such cute endpapers of Cosmo and Hilda, our hero‘s faithful pups. 😍 #pop23 #containsamap #bn2023challenge #cozymystery #52bookclub2023 #adedication
