William Weigand—to join them on this glittering retreat, but the joviality ends when Weigand finds Helen Wilson lying across the path, a knife buried in her neck.

I received this book for free from the library in exchange for an honest review.

My Take I loved the homeyness of Wells’ writing. Her descriptions of the exterior of Della’s English cottage and the in-and outside of Lulu’s — oh!! She’s got some great-sounding recipes that I can’t wait to try out. I had to sigh…gag?…a little at Della’s decision to investigate the murder herself.

It would have been more believable with more drama and tension if Wells had held off until there was a real threat such as the death caused by the use of her knife when Halls seems to think it’s an open-and-shut case. Even if it is too lame for Halls to leap on her. I do like Della raking D’Martino down for his ageism. […]
