The third book in the series and just as cosy as the others
The development in the main characters personal storylines mixed with the hint of dedley end murder is developing so nicely
This book makes me excited for more as it definitely leaves tje prospect of further books to the series

If you want a cosy crime book you have come to the right place this books is so plot filled you will be feeling like you are in deadly end with all the characters you will be questioning their choices and falling in love with the relationship made and formed although this book is quite slow paced I think that’s what makes it different to other crime books:

Third book to The Dedley End Mysteries Series. Another murder happens in this quaint village’s locked church. With the ever present help of her grandmother and friends, Nancy sleuths to find clues and try to solve this murder. And how does this intertwine with her mother who left two decades ago?
I really enjoyed solving the murder with the characters, I couldn’t stop reading but there were moments where I would facepalm myself with Nancy’s decisions. A very plot-driven book where you would second guess every action made, accusing everyone of being the killer. Reading the previous books, I craved for more action and this one was definitely action-packed, maybe too much.
It all ends nicely, happy that I also got to partially make a correct guess on who the killer is. There was a pinch of romance sprinkled at the end that doesn’t really change much to the plot. But, I’m happy for the characters.
No spoilers, but with how the suspects were handled in the ending, there is still some room for another book to happen.
