What readers say
M. R. G. Davies is best known for the Cosy Crime Club mysteries, set around a village crime bookshop and its reading group of amateur sleuths. Readers praise the charming setting, literary references, the book-club premise and a few lively characters. The main criticisms are slow pacing, heavy or digressive prose, repetitive discussions, uneven characters and endings that feel convenient or have plot holes. Reception is mixed for the opening book, with somewhat warmer reactions to the follow-up.
Best for: Readers who like bookshop-and-book-club cozies and can forgive a leisurely pace.
