This
novel is a delightful English cozy mystery. Our heroine is Berdie
Elliot, the wife of the vicar at St. Aidan of the Wood Parish Church.
When the ground turning ceremony for a new garden area at the church
turns up human bones, Berdie goes to work to solve the mystery.
I
love the characters in this novel. They are the quirky ones you'll
only find in British novels. Berdie is tenacious, fining out who the
strangers in the village are and why they've come. The dialog is
great with frequent humor. Berdie and her friend Lillie are a riot.
This
novel requires attention to detail. There are many characters and the
plot is convoluted. There are many twists and turns and I must admit
I got a little lost at the very end.
