I really love this series. Fairies, magic and murder all rolled into a wonderful story. Courtney deals with solving the murder, irritating Detective Summer, dealing with Brady’s ex wife and much more. Great book

I love this series and it inspired me to make my own fairy garden. Don't be fooled by the fun premise, Daryl Wood Gerber writes a great mystery. Her characters are all individual and drawn so well. No one or no plot ever gets lost.
Thank you to NetGalley for the advance read.

This is a whimsical cozy mystery that is bound to make a believer out of anyone.
Courtney loves working in her shop, creating beautiful fairy gardens, offering classes and so much more.
The ending had me choking back tears and I can't wait to see what will happen next.

This series keeps getting better and better. I'm not sure this can be read as a standalone, although the author does do a great job recapping so you understand what and why something is happening.

We learn so much more about Fiona and the other fairies in this book that the ending makes me curious as to what the next book will bring.

This series is my happy place! I love being transported to Carmel - by - the - Sea and the magic that surrounds it.
Hopefully, we can get more insight into the fairy world soon.

Thanks #NetGalley #KensingtonCozies #DarylWoodGerber for letting me read this book for my honest review.

Daryl Wood Gerber always delivers a superb story, fun characters, and a memorable setting in her books. In A Flicker of a Doubt, the latest book in her Fairy Garden Mysteries, readers are treated to a murder in the art scene, where a not-so-very-nice artist is murdered by someone with a grudge. Weaving in beautiful magic and clever plot twists, Gerber packs a lot of punch into this installment, and each time we meet Fiona, the protagonist's fairy, we learn more about her backstory. How fun to find out her connections to others in the book. I recommend the series and look forward to the next release.
