After signing up for a guide to skulduggery, I received a mystery filed with humour, love for one’s community and the twists and turns of a Dan Brown thriller.
Whilst at a wedding appropriate for the Montague’s and Capulets, a dog unearths a human skull, and evidence in a decades old murder mystery, causing the wedding to be cancelled.
We then join Ginny, and her friends Tuppence, JM and Hen who are helped by an eclectic cast of supporting characters to try get the wedding back on, and find out the true facts behind the cause of the surprise skull intrusion.
Remarkably well written, you can feel the warmth and camaraderie the main cast feel for each other.
This book has me on the edge of my seat at times, and caused a wide eyed, slow jaw opening moment once or twice (but I implore you to read it yourself, to find out why!)
