A well written mystery with humour as well as twists and turns I loved it and devoured it in a sitting and now impatiently awaiting the next book.
Altogether an excellent read with a lovely Cornish feel.
This book is packed full of mystery, full of interesting characters and set in an incredible location.
A good cozy mystery with fascinating characters, sneaky twists, and incredible red herrings. Great cozy read!
Another fabulous cosy crime from Jo Silva Looking forward to the third instalment, as this one has left us hanging!
You know when you've enjoyed a book so much that at the end you want to immediately return to page one and start again.
Readers ADORE this mystery series:
The sleeper book of the year so much fun to read that you forget to even try and solve the case. And good luck solving it anyway, with twists within twists within twists
Set in beautiful Cornwall, the characters were quirky and slightly magical, the writing was good and the mystery was totally unpredictable. Well done to the author for writing an excellent cosy mystery whilst avoiding some of the normal characteristics of the genre.
Intelligently written with comedy, sarcasm, murder and peculiarity at its heart making for an entertaining and intriguing read
There arent enough words to tell you how much I enjoyed this book. Odd. Funny. Engaging. Brilliant. I absolutely loved it. I am not often lost for words when trying to explain what makes a book special
I didnt put it down until I was finished and slightly sleep deprived as a result and Im thrilled!
Kept me reading and put a smile on my face. And I cant ask more than that. A really promising debut
Reflects (exaggerates) the eccentricities of the British people, in particular the Cornish the author brought wicked sarcasm and snark into her characters
Melanie Hudson was born in Yorkshire in 1971, the youngest of six children. Her earliest memory is of standing with her brother on the street corner selling her dad's surplus vegetables (imagine The Good Life in Barnsley and you're more or less there). After running away to join the British armed forces in 1994, Melanie experienced a career that took her around the world on some exciting adventures. In 2010, when she returned to civilian life to look after her young son, on a whim, she moved to Dubai where she found the time to write women's fiction. She now lives in Cornwall with her family. Her debut, The Wedding Cake Tree, won the Romantic Novelists' Association Contemporary Romance Novel of the Year 2016.
