Things turn too real when the hostess is killed and the killer is amongst the guest. I really enjoyed this quick read with the quirky characters.

It had a good plot and interesting characters. I highly recommend it to other cozy readers." "A delightful mystery that transports you back to the early 1900s. A story solved by a woman in a time when women were not encouraged to use any sense whatsoever. But common sense and attention to detail rule the day!"

I have enjoyed all of her books so far and I am getting ready to read the final one."
