This is the second book in the Stationery Shop mystery series by Vivian Conroy.
I have a thing for stationery and so this cozy concept really appeals to the pen/paper hoarder in me. Delta Douglas and her friend, Hazel are back in this exciting mystery surrounding a card making workshop.
The dead body ends up being dressed nearly exactly like the woman who asked Delta and Hazel to bring their workshop to her birthday extravaganza. This fact makes the reader waffle back and forth wondering who was really the intended victim. Great mystery and character development in this one.
Delta’s grandmother was a great addition to this series. Her worries are the worries of many elderly people. She lost her house due to a road being paved through her neighborhood. I hope Conroy brings her in as a recurring character.
Looking forward to more books in this series.
If you like cozy mysteries, definitely check this one out. You won’t be disappointed.
I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.
