I saw this book recommendation from Youtuber/Flylady Diane in Denmark and the author is South African so I had to read it. It still blows my mind how small the world is.

Three ladies running a local newspaper is what a booklover’s dreams are made of.

I have baked each day I’ve read this book. The food is described in such mouthwatering detail that I have been taking pleasure in all my meals and my waistline already shows it- in just three days.

The story developed quickly and not how I predicted so I enjoyed every surprise. I thought a cosy mystery was an oxymoron but this really is a feel good whodunit.

There are some humourous scenes I’d love to see on a big screen. The ‘fight/interrogation scene’ had me laughing out loud.

Quite a few of the chapters end on cliffhangers making it hard to put the book down.

Even the romance isn’t very typical. Cringe-worthy. I wanted to look away so had to read with one eye closed.

Overall, a lovely enjoyable read.

A special thanks to Mamello for the gift of an online library.
