So this is the second book in the series and I’ve listened to both. The narrator has become the main character Winnifred “Fred” to me. She does a great job narrating the story. This book takes place around Christmas which is a holiday I love. The idea of another murder taking place in this sleepy little town is probably far fetched but it’s fiction and it doesn’t matter to me. There is a little bit of a pattern so far. A truly unlikable character is killed off and the person responsible isn’t someone you would expect. Still, I didn’t guess at the culprit. I had no clue until the last clue was revealed and our heroine figured it out as well.
Fred is a clever character who I like a lot. I feel like I can relate to her. She loves desserts, isn’t a fan of running, she loves her family and she is a good friend. I am not so much of an animal lover but can understand her love for her corgi, Watson. There is a little bit of romance brewing even though Fred isn’t looking for anyone to spend her life with. The genre isn’t romance, I know. Even though this series is cozy mysteries, the romantic in me still can’t help but wish Fred would find love.
Can’t wait for more of this quirky mystery series.
