“If you enjoyed M.C. Beaton’s Agatha Raisin series and appreciate crime novels that are a bit ludicrous, a good option is Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave by Elle Cosimano, about a mother of two toddlers who one way or another is mixed up with a string of bodies buried around her small town in Virginia. In this one, the dead body is found in the house of Mrs Haggerty, her officious neighbour.” Read more...
