My Thoughts:
This is not my usual choice of a book because I rarely read cozy mysteries. I chose this title because I was curious, and it’s available in audiobook form. This is a cozy mystery put in the 19th century, but I would categorize it also as women’s fiction. There are more strong women characters, and Cassie worries quite a lot about her clothes and appearance.
I loved aunt Flora, her love for the animals and perfumes. She is a strong and independent woman, which was not usual for that time.
Pacing is slower than expected, especially in the beginning. In exchange, there are picturesque descriptions of the surroundings and characters, and we can easily be transported in time and place of the novel.
There were a few details I wasn’t sure about, but otherwise, this was quite an enjoyable read. But I think this could work for me only in audiobook form. I would say that those who like medium-paced historical cozy mysteries could like this.
The narrator is excellent. Her voice is pleasant, and she impersonates all the characters very well.
