Some have been thrillers — it seems if you are female and write a series, you are called cozy because the publishing industry only allows a small percentage of Patricia Cornwalls.
Well all lovers of true cozies can rest easy now because a new true cozy author has joined the ranks. The characters are well drawn. You feel you could find your way around the quaint towns and villages in the area. The plot is very smart and you will be kept guessing. Jun 28, Melina rated it it was amazing. This cozy mystery was a little different than most cozies I read, but it was still very good. I liked the small town feel of this story, I liked how all of the citizens in the town pulled together to pull off the festival that takes place in this story.
I also think that Daisy's shop would be a great place to visit. Daisy was a likable character for me.

When her friend, Angus, is accused of murder, she pulls out all the stops to prove that he didn't do it, even after everyone else in the town wrote him off, even his wife. I think this story was pretty realistic in the fact that the small town sheriff, who had a grudge against Angus, didn't want to look into the possibility that Angus was innocent.
I think that happens a lot in small towns. When a detective from New York is brought on the case, Angus is found innocent, but we still don't know who the murderer is. Daisy still has to solve the case. Full of quirky characters that I am looking forward to meeting again, I am anxiously waiting for the next book in the Deadly Notions Mystery series.

If you are looking for a quick read that leaves you guessing and has a great small town vibe, then this is the story for you. I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest review. Jan 22, Cat Tutt rated it it was amazing. This book was a lot of fun, and also very educational for me. A big part of the plot revolves around auctions, and I learned a lot about how they work and what it's like to attend one. Having never been to an auction, this was all new information to me.
And reading the vivid descriptions certainly helped me understand why people love them so much, they seem like a total adrenaline rush! Cate Price also speaks with an air of authority about antiques, furniture, and architecture. Either she knows a This book was a lot of fun, and also very educational for me. Either she knows a great deal about the subjects, or did a great deal of research. Whichever the case, I felt like the use of technical descriptions in the book really added to it, and would do so especially for someone who knows a great deal about the topics. The most surprising thing for me, I think, was that this book is definitely more PG than G rated.
There's a bit of slightly choice language, and more references to sex and sexuality than I've come across in any other cozy. It wasn't explicit at all, just a bit racier than I am used to in cozies. I actually really enjoyed that about the book, I felt like it gave it unique character. But if you are a person who is very sensitive to slightly course language or mentions of sexuality The characters were great, and all so well developed I felt like I had known them for years. I particularly loved the relationships between the characters, especially between Daisy and Joe.
They're the sweetest couple! And of course, the mystery itself had me stumped. There were aspects of the murder that seemed to preclude various people, and it wasn't until the revelation of the last big clue that it all made sense.

She is going to stitch the clues together and catch the real culprit. First books in a series are hard because you have to introduce the characters and give them enough depth so that the reader is engaged but not too much because there are more installments to come. They also have to give the reader a mystery with substance to keep those pages turning. Price has done both in this book. Daisy is a retired schoolteacher who is definitely not ready to slow down. She is probably busier now than in all the years prior to retiring. Joe is more laid back and easy going but he wishes his wife was around more and spent more time with him.
Any couple that retires knows there are compromises and adjustments to be made to reach a perfect personal balance. Their daughter arriving home with a furry friend adds just what the story needed to draw me right in.

Daisy is not perfect. She spoils her daughter, Sarah and sometimes takes her husband for granted. Daisy's friends, Eleanor, Martha and Cyril were interesting and I enjoyed their quirks. I hope they will also appear in the other books in the series. The ending was a surprise to me.
