The Wonderland Murders is the first in a Cozy Craft Mystery Series by Millie Ravensworth.
The Plot
After losing her job at an exclusive London hotel, Penny Slipper is only too happy to help when her grandma asks her to take charge at the Cozy Craft sewing shop in charming rural Suffolk. With cousin Izzy on hand as the expert dressmaker and Penny’s head for business, what can possibly go wrong?
But Penny’s in town for less than a day when the local librarian is poisoned and Penny fears she might even be accidentally responsible. Penny and Izzy are forced to turn detectives to uncover the true cause of death, while finishing a costume commission for their first customer.
Matters take a further deadly turn when a second body is discovered.
Can Penny and Izzy unpick the mysteries of the past and sew the pieces of this puzzle together before it’s too late?
Review
Quite a fun cosy mystery story. A touch of “little shop” rom-com with the interaction of the cousins and the introduction of a handsome painter and decorator. A touch of who-dun-it with a couple of murders.
I guessed the murderer fairly early on but not the motive. Have a read and see how you get on.
