I quite like this series - for the characters, the dialogue, the plots and the ‘sense of place’. SNOW ANGEL finds Beatrice retired and living in the small village of Upton St. Nicholas with Matthew and really trying to ‘fit in’. She is quite over extended with household routines, wedding planning, village life and a request from Matthew to look into his friend’s unexpected death.
While I did enjoy this title, it lacked the pizazz I was accustomed to in the previous titles. BAD APPLES, especially, took the reader to Portugal and seemed more exotic to me and more professionally driven. SNOW ANGEL was more a British cozy mystery in a small village. Without her Scotland Yard credentials, Beatrice is in the amateur sleuth category and a bit scatter-brained.
I will eagerly await the next title, however, and hope for more excitement! ( )
