Michigan bookshop owner and mystery writer Samantha Washington is engaged to be married, and set to meet her future mother-in-law, Dr. Camilia Patterson. Nano Jo and the ladies of Shady Acres Retirement Village throw a surprise bridal shower for Sam at the Four Feathers Casino. She's embarrassed and slips back to her room to work on her latest historical mystery set between the wars, in which a houseguest meets a grim end at an English country manor. The next morning, Sam gets a call from Camilia, who’s discovered a dead body in her room. Now Sam has to find a killer and keep her future mother-in-law out of the fire.
I loved this cozy mystery. It's full of fun characters, dastardly suspects, and a plot that was both interesting and compelling. This author actually combines two different mysteries into one story. There is the main mystery set in contemporary times, and a mystery that is written by the main character set in England in the 20th century. I would love to see a full novel of the historical mystery. The author makes each setting come alive through her words. I can't wait to read the next novel in this wonderful series. Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for this advanced reader's copy. This review is my honest opinion.
