Historia
Agatha Woosmoss, the Wallflower, is the greatest intelligencer of her generation. And no one knows she exists. Her greatest skill is in her ability to go forever unnoticed. Except by one man. Pillover Plumleigh-Teignmott is a professor of ancient languages at Oxford University. He’s tried to ignore his training as an evil genius and live a quiet life away from politics and intrigue. When an assignment goes horribly wrong, Agatha must hide and heal. So she goes to ground with the only person who’s always kept her safe: Pillover.

Someone needs to tell the narrator how to pronounce names. It’s very rattling and jarring to hear them pronounced so horribly!

A lovely catch up with beloved characters
Revisado: 01-26-22
It is always wonderful to visit this world and he people who inhabit it.
This book is especially wonderful if you have read the others in the series.
It spans the whole life of two main characters so it can feel melancholy at times, but it also shows the different stages of an enduring love, which is beautiful.
So, like Agatha, this is a quiet book on the surface, but it does stay with you for quite a while, for many different reasons.

When they arrive, they meet Rose, a woman Belinda knew as a child when she spent her summers with her grandmother in Cornwall.

I enjoyed this one!
Queenie only makes a very short appearance. (I started to dislike her in the last few books)
I wish Georgie would be a little less of a wet blanket, but it rings true for the age and period, so, yes recommend! Especially if you were a bit 'fed up' with the previous books.
This feels fresh and like the first books.

Historia
Weddings have the strangest effect on people. How else to explain the fact that Sissy woke up in Mitch's bed the morning after her brother Bobby Ray tied the knot? Or that gunmen are trying to kill Mitch. Sissy Mae now has to escort a bleeding, stubborn, yet still incredibly sexy lion shifter to her Tennessee Pack's turf to keep him safe? It doesn't help that Mitch's appraising gaze makes her feel like the most desirable creature on earth, or that the ultimate stray cat is suddenly acting all kinds of possessive.

After reading some of the reviews I did not expect to like these as much as I do.
I love the descriptions of coffee (hate to drink it though 😂) and the story lines are fun and not too predictable, great new (to me) series of cozy crime.
If you like Aggie or Hamish you'll like these too.
Off to the next one! Yay!

I've enjoyed this series
Revisado: 11-03-20
so far, I've listened to three of them.
It's a solid cozy if you're looking to kill a few hours.
The British 'shtick' is getting very old, yes we love tea, but no, we don't run around saying 'bugger' every time we sneeze.
It's nice that the narrator has stopped making everything sound so dramatic and tragic and breathy. When listening one gets the impression that h1 is a bit of a wimp and h2 a bit rude and abrupt, this however may be down to the narration...

I was pleasantly surprised, this is a lovely little cosy mystery and I will read the next one in the series.
Do not be put off by the overly breathy/tragic narration, it gets better as the book goes on.

Historia
Neal Carey is not your usual private eye. A graduate student at Columbia University, he grew up on the streets of New York, usually on the wrong side of the law. Then he met a P.I. who introduced him to the Bank, an exclusive institution with a sideline in keeping its wealthy clients happy and out of trouble. They pay Neal's college tuition, and Neal gets an education that can't be found in any textbook, from learning how to trail a suspect to mastering the proper way to search a room. Now it's payback time.

I was not sure about this, but I really enjoyed it.
Fast paced, funny and not too much 'mush'.
Liked the narration too, very pleasant voice.
I'm off to the next one in the series!

This is the second book in the series, I got them on a whim and because I liked the covers.
They are very entertaining and well written, not formulaic (as much as a crime/mystery book can be) and insightful.
There is a little hint of romance but it it barely simmers in the background, in this installment we get a little glimpse of what has happened to Charlotte.
Don't hesitate, you will not regret getting this!
I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

Revisado: 09-03-20
If you like an English cozy mystery, you are likely to enjoy this series.
The issue I have is with the narrator, there are quite a few mis-pronounciations as well as a very odd would be British accent...
However if you do not know what a British accent sounds like you will be happy.
Give it a go, the book is fun
