Libby Forest, (baker, chocolatier) and her soon to be second husband Max Ramshore (professional internet sleuth) are up to their necks in the latest murder and weirdness. Some nutter is targeting some people both locally and some related to locals (like Max's less than delightful ex wife) with emails of personalized nursery rhymes. The first murder victim apparently didn't get her email until after her death, and the police are mystifies enough to hire Max to help. Lots of family issues when they'd rather just be seeing to their wedding, but the murderer wasn't done yet. Good sleuthing and interesting characters backed up by some lovely dogs. I enjoyed it very much!

The poison pen emails targeting Exham on Sea residents with nursery rhymes are laughable - until one of the recipients dies

And Libby and Max's looming wedding is dealt a blow by the re-emergence of Max's ex-wife Stella

With a good cast of likeable characters, this series just gets better
