What this book is about
When a birthday party in an English village ends in murder, amateur detective Jenny Starling finds herself drawn into the investigation while trying to understand who among the guests had reason to kill. Cato's cozy mystery offers a classic whodunit in the tradition of the British village mystery, with a puzzle-focused plot and a charming setting. Light on darkness and heavy on clever deduction, it is perfect for readers who prefer their crime without graphic content.
