Big Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for providing me with an advanced copy of the book!
'The Murders in Great Diddling' is a cozy mystery book that includes lots and lots of books and many book lovers.
The mystery was nicely handled, with many twists, and a nice setting that worked to the story's advantage. The interesting set of characters also aided the plot a lot, as it wasn't easy to pinpoint who was the culprit.
However, I do have to point out that I would have wanted more involvement of the main character, the prestigious author was set out to solve the mystery. She was an entertaining character and she had a strong presence in the first part of the book and the ending chapters, but she kind of vanished in the middle part.
Still, the switching of POVs was smooth and one of the best that I've read so far.
