What readers say
Readers love the Kipper Cottage mysteries for their vivid Whitby setting, a sensible, curious heroine who is a widowed retired nurse, a quirky circle of friends and a scene-stealing bull terrier, and they enjoy the red herrings and surprise culprits; fans say the series stays consistently enjoyable. Common criticisms are slow openings, plots that rely on suspects chatting freely to the sleuth and on bumbling police, a few readers who don't warm to the heroine, and books that some find pleasant but ordinary.
Best for: Readers who want gentle British seaside cozies with a lovable dog.
