I think we are living in a sort of "Golden Age of British Cosy Mystery" after Osman's books.
This is the excellent start of a new series: lovely setting, quirky characters, lots of humour, a solid mystery.
I had a lot of fun in reading this book. I was a bit wary at the beginning as I didn't like Astrid who seemed to be a snob but she grew on me and I appreciated her brain and how she faced the changes in her life.
Kath, Margaret, and Harold are great characters: I loved them as they are quirky, relatable, and fleshed out.
I can't wait to read the next book in this series.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
