I love murder mysteries set in sleepy towns and this was no exception. Berit Gardner is an author who recently moved to Great Diddling, a town dependent on tourist traffic and the few locals. While attending her first event and meeting the locals, someone is murdered! Berit gets involved in investigating and attempting to solve the murder. All of the characters were interesting and distinct, I liked getting to know all the townspeople. I don’t normally like multiple POVs but I thought it was well done and provided a lot of information here. The setting was immersive and was a great addition to the cozy vibes. I thought the story had great moments of comedy and I enjoyed the mystery as well. I was guessing until the very end
