Death at the Village Christmas Fair by Debbie Young #Review #CotswoldCuriosityShopMysteriesBook3 #PublicationDay

  I am delighted to feature this cozy crime novel, Death at the Village Christmas Fair  by Debbie Young . It is published today by Boldwood Books on August 16th.   It’s been a busy year for Alice Carroll, with her Curiosity Shop opening for business, and not one but two murders shaking things up in her quaint Cotswold village. She’s looking forward to her first countryside Christmas, complete with traditional Christmas Fair and Santa Run. But her hopes for innocent festive fun are thwarted when one of the Santa Runners steals something from her mum's knitting stall. His festive outfit makes him hard to spot, until he's found fatally injured outside the village hall with the stolen item. Despite what the police say, Alice suspects there's more to his murder than meets the eye. She's determined to solve the mystery - including why, once more, a stranger thought something from her Curiosity Shop was worth killing for. With the help of her charming neighbour Rob...

Primrose Park by Christie Barlow #Review

 

It is always a lovely day when we visit Love Heart Lane for another in the series and today we are headed to Primrose Park. It can be read as a standalone. You can read my review of more in the series here: Love Heart Lane, Foxglove Farm, Clover Cottage , The Lake House.

Vet Molly has always been career driven and focussed on caring for her animals, but when she meets a gorgeous Mystery Man at a conference and their connection is off the charts, well, one night off work won’t hurt anyone...except the next morning he’s vanished and all Molly knows about him is his first name.Three months later, back in Love Heart Lane, everyone loves the storyof Molly's amazing one-night stand.It's so unlike her! But when Mystery Man turns up walking his dog through Primrose Park and their night together seems to mean nothing to him, Molly needs her friends and neighbours more than ever. And especially when she’s left with the most unexpected of surprises...

My Thoughts

Visits to  Heartcross always deliver us up a great story and Primrose Park is no exception. Family and friendship are at the centre once more and as well as catching up with familiar characters, there are new ones centre stage. Molly and Cam have great chemistry from the beginning so it was no surprise when their paths crossed again. 

    Molly fits in beautifully alongside the others we have come to know. She is independent and determined to succeed but also kindhearted. Being a vet, she is able to stand on her own two feet and you find out that although she is alone, family does mean a lot to her. Cam seems a little harder to read at first. The feisty character of his grandmother, Dixie adds humour as of course does her four-legged friend, Darling. The setting is as gorgeous and welcoming as ever. With some great characters and bags of heart, this is another lovely read. 

In short: romance blooms in Primrose Park
