I received this ARC via Netgalley and Bloomsbury Printing, in return for an honest review. An interesting setting in 1957 Brighton, England, allows the author to introduce a range of quirky characters to the reader. The protagonist is Constable Twitten of the local police force. Serving under Sergeant Brunswick and Inspector Steine to solve a trio of apparently separate murders that involve death by milk bottle, the Constable relies on his unique interpretation of those around him and their motives to unearth the culprits. This is quite the departure from the traditional cozy in some ways. The cast of characters is lengthy and I did find it difficult to always track who was who and why they were involved. Kudos to the author for a distinctive take on the traditional mystery.
