Death at the Old Curiosity Shop by Debbie Young

Hello my cozy friends,

Today I am reviewing "Death at the Old Curiosity Shop” the first instalment in The Cotswold Curiosity Shop Mystery series by Debbie Young set in the Cotswold Village of Little Pride, England.  What a great start to a new series.

A picturesque village. A quaint highstreet... And a murder to solve. Alice's new life is off to a deadly start.

When Alice Carroll steps into Curiosity Cottage, a picture-perfect former bric-a-brac shop in the Cotswold Village of Little Pride, she thinks she’s found the perfect place to start the new phase of her life. Freshly separated from her collector long-term boyfriend, she’s excited to embrace her new, minimalist existence.

All Alice needs to do is sell off the left-behind stock, and settle in. But the villagers of Little Pride have other ideas, and Alice quickly realises they won’t give up their beloved shop without a fight.

Then a dead body is found buried in her neighbour's compost heap, and Alice realises there’s much more to Little Pride, and its residents, than meets the eye.

Head for the Cotswolds in this delightful new cozy mystery series, perfect for fans of Fiona Leitch, Faith Martin and Agatha Christie.

I enjoyed this story, and it has made me want to visit the Cotswolds on my next trip to England. I thoroughly enjoyed Debbie's latest novel, which masterfully blends cozy mystery and heartwarming storytelling. Although the mystery unfolds midway through the book, the first half is an engaging introduction to Alice, her friend Danny, and the charming village of Little Pride.

The mystery is interesting and well plotted, and had plenty of twists to keep engaged right to the very end. I kept guessing and second-guessing myself but I was right on who the killer was.

Overall, this book is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries and heartwarming fiction. Debbie's writing is engaging, and her characters are lovable and well-crafted. I highly recommend this charming novel and look forward to the next instalment.
