I really enjoyed this, though I know it's been bashed. My theory for that is how religious the author has decided to make the text - folks are unable to separate the religion from the fantasy, and it affects their reading. But I enjoyed every page of this! It's definitely a debut novel, but it was a way for the author to grow, and I'm excited to see later books remove the slight beginner's follies that are generally unavoidable.

I actually enjoyed this, but I can see why a lot of people did not. It's a cozy murder mystery set across a few sleepy English towns, and it's written in an older style in part to account for the 3 main characters being older women and to sell the style of storytelling. But it's enjoyable, and it's a good start to writing novels
