This is the second installment in The Expectant Detectives series by Kay Ailes. I thoroughly enjoyed returning to the small country life of the Cotswalds to see how our new moms are handling that newborn life. Lo and behold they once again find themselves entangled in a murder mystery.
I really enjoyed this second book, it was nice to see the friendships growing among the characters and I adored how much they leaned in on each other as they navigated parenthood for the first time. I actually saw a lot of growth and depth to our main character and found her to be overall less aloof and annoying.
I had a great time watching these characters hijinks as they solved yet another mysterious murder in their small town. This series is hilarious and as light hearted as it gets for a murder mystery.
I want to thank Minotaur books and NetGalley once again for the opportunity to review an early copy of this book, all opinions are my own.
