Jacqueline Kirby is hilarious, opinionated, intelligent, and an entertaining sleuth. This particular book has been waiting for me quite a while and oh-how-I-wish I'd read it sooner. I switched back and forth between the audiobook (what a perfect narrator!) and the ebook depending on my locale. This murder is twisty and complicated and felt a little gothic--so enjoyable. This tale also had a touch, a light touch, of romance. Each Kirby setting is very unique and this time we are in a backwater town in the home of a famously murdered writer.

I haven't read Die for Love (Kirby #3), and my public library has the audio and ebook, I think I'll repeat this performance. Once I read Elizabeth Peters, I am pulled into her world for several books. If you want an intelligent feeling cozy coupled with some silliness/humor--this is it.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy.
