I had the pleasure of reading and reviewing the first Dickens Junction Mystery (the Christmas Carol Murders) last year and just loved it. So, I was ecstatic to get my hands on the next installment, The Edwin Drood Murders.
Not only is it set in a small town with eccentric characters, but the clues are just haphazardly scattered about and it's challenging to find out whodunit before Simon does. There's also something going on with somebody, be it romance, an argument or some other gossip, which is par for the course in most cozy mysteries. But with Lord's books, you come to care for those characters and hope for the best outcome!
If you enjoy a good old fashioned murder mystery with a quaint town and memorable characters, then you won't want to miss The Edwin Drood Murders. But, I'd highly recommend starting with the first book, The Christmas Carol Murders). This one can be read as a standalone, but I feel like you'd be missing out on some great moments without the first one. I can't wait for the next one!
