Loving this series,  always something new happening with lots of twists and turns in the story,  always a side mystery to the main plot mystery while still keeping a heart felt real take on life's challenges and relationships. Also love seeing Mina go through her journey of acceptance and embracing her abilities and life's Joy's while she loses others to her disability.

I love this series.   Such a nice mix of cozy mystery and spicy romance.  Mina seems to be coming into her own on how to deal with her boys.  And we got a new fictional character,

Lydia Bennett

in this one.

I enjoyed this book! I think it resembled an Agatha Christie with them confined to Cynthias house the majority of the book while solving the murder. I appreciate the continuing development of the relationships, the mystery of the bookshop itself, and the impending blindness. Holmes has a lot of elements to juggle and she seems to do a great job at keeping up their evolutions so far.
