A cosy, fun read with some wonderful descriptions of village life. Julia Chapman has a way of describing characters that allows you to picture them vividly - almost like a screenplay. Enjoyed this a lot and looking forward to the next one.

If good reads let you do half stars as a review I would give this book 3.5 stars. It was a predictable and oh so very cheesy romance/mystery novel.

But it waa exactly the type of trash I needed to read after finishing two 700 page fantasy novels back to back. Perfect brain break

Delilah is experiencing difficulties in her private and professional life, particularly with her dating agency. She has to rent out part of her office to stay afloat. Who rents the office? None other than Samson O’Brien, who fled the village years ago, and why does he need an office? For a detective agency. Young men are dying, all clients of the dating agency. Battling remorse and the distrust of the whole village, Delilah and Samson will have to work together to uncover the killer. I loved this story, with enough twists and turns in the plot to not be obvious and plenty of references to English traditions, tea, bacon butties and Sunday roasts. This is the first story in The Dales Detectives series, but I think I’m already hooked.
