Tanya and the Seacastle crew are back to crack open another mystery!  Tanya really is like Jessica Fletcher - she's finding bodies everywhere she goes.  At least this time it's Grace finding the body!

It was great to finally see more of Grace and Max, learning about their backgrounds, why they came to the UK, why she is so fearful to be involved with the police. Roz is acting highly weird too.  The found family vibes are strong in this series - something I love.  Mouse is just so adorable for a teenager - apart from being a bit lost on the old "what do you want to be when you grow up" front, he is such a loving, intelligent and level headed lad.

Who knew the world of Antiquing could be so cut-throat!  Dot really is a horrid woman and she was certainly a victim who garnered little sympathy.  The storyline zipped along and as usual Tanya et al are integral to saving the day and unmasking the murderer.

I actually found myself warming to DI Antrim in this book - learning more about his backstory humanised him a bit and he certainly relaxes around the Grotty Hovel inhabitants. I must admit I did not guess the murdered this time around - my police colleagues had a hoot at that - they've told me it's just as well I'm not a cop, LOL.

Plenty of humour, cosy vibes and a gentle romance (closed door/off page) between older MC's.  Absolutely adorable series and can't wait to see what happens next!
