Start a BRILLIANT cozy mystery series from Debbie Young

A picturesque village. A quaint highstreet... And a murder to solve. Alice's new life is off to a deadly start.

When Alice Carroll steps into Curiosity Cottage, a picture-perfect former bric-a-brac shop in the Cotswold Village of Little Pride, she thinks she’s found the perfect place to start the new phase of her life. Freshly separated from her collector long-term boyfriend, she’s excited to embrace her new, minimalist existence.

All Alice needs to do is sell off the left-behind stock, and settle in. But the villagers of Little Pride have other ideas, and Alice quickly realises they won’t give up their beloved shop without a fight.

Then a dead body is found buried in her neighbour's compost heap, and Alice realises there’s much more to Little Pride, and its residents, than meets the eye.

Head for the Cotswolds in this delightful new cozy mystery series, perfect for fans of Fiona Leitch, Faith Martin and Agatha Christie.

Addictive First Book in a New Cozy Mystery Series

This is my first mystery book written by Ms. Debbie Young, and I enjoyed every minute of it. There is a second book already, and a third coming up. I will listen to those books as well. I know she writes 2 other mystery series, and I will read those also.

The Cotswolds has always been an area of attraction for me, especially since many mystery books have used it as its location.

The narrator, Ms. Willow Nash does an excellent job of performing the book and changing the voices to fit the quirky characters. There were many LOL moments, which made this book so enjoyable.

The plot was fun, and I enjoyed getting to know all the characters in the small village. Since all the characters are unfamiliar to me, I had a bit of a challenge getting to know them, and I am sure that will not be the case in the next books in this series.

I highly recommend this book to any mystery lover!

This is a terrific book. I really enjoyed the characters. The story flowed very well and kept you guessing with plenty of suspects.
