Penny Brannigan inherits a cottage from a friend and as she cleans it out discovers some old letters. Her friend had a lesbian relationship in the 1960's, but her lover, an artist, had been killed in an unsolved hit-and-run. Although there were some suspicious circumstances, the death was eventually written off as an accident.
Penny begins looking for more information, hoping to solve the mystery. I enjoyed Penny's friends in the small Welsh village of Llanelen.
The novel is a typical cozy in that there is no graphic violence and setting and community are important aspects of the mystery.
Light, but fun.

Jenclair, I am putting this on my cozy mystery wish list! Sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteSherri - It was a quick read, and I enjoyed it. Duncan has some other Penny Brannigan mysteries that I might try.
