I have been waiting for ages for this book to be released as I was so looking forward to it. Julie is one of my favourite authors plus we get to see the series on television as well. We now have ten books set in Whitstable all about Pearl Nolan and her detective agency plus her romance with the Canterbury detective. What a good pair they make as they go about solving crimes from missing dustbins to murder, must be all those DFLs (down from London) causing all this mayhem in the coastal town of Whitstable.
Cosy crime at its very best, with lovely characters that you cannot help but love plus the surrounding countryside written in glorious detail that you can almost see and hear the birds chirping away at the allotment. It all seems too gorgeous for murder but Pearl gets on the case and is soon uncovering details that the police have yet to find out, which does not help relations but luckily her man is taking a leave from his day job as he has an injury. What will it take for Pearl to solve the case and who is writing the complaint letters? This a lovely gentle story for a summer day in the garden, look out for the robins.
The FABULOUS brand new season of the TV series starring Kerry Godliman, Howard Charles, Frances Barber, Rohan Need, Isobelle Molloy and Sophia Del Pizzo – based on the crime novels and set in wonderful Whitstable! Catch it on Acorn TV, Amazon Prime, Roku, Apple TV, and Netgem.
