The Curious Case of the Poisoned Professor by Lucy Connelly

Hello my cozy friends, 

Today I am reviewing “The Curious Case of the Poisoned Professor ” by Lucy Connelly the 1st instalment in the " A Welsh Village Mystery" series. I enjoyed this book and think it’s a great start to a new series.  I’ve enjoyed Lucy Connelly’s Scottish Isle Mysteries so was excited to see another series by her but set in Wales.

A new job can be killer in this series debut mystery set in Wales, perfect for fans of Sheila Connolly and Paige Shelton.

After crossing the pond, Dr. Gwen Griffith finds herself in the quirky place she fell in love with, Dillynaidd, Wales. A former managing editor for a Texan newspaper, Gwen is ready for the next stage in her life as the head of the journalism department at the local university in town. With her best friend, Carolyn Sparks–who is also the university’s dean–at her side, Dillynaidd feels like a dream, until murder comes knocking at her doorstep.

Gwen had only just met the victim, Dr. Alice Rice, at a faculty party, but that doesn't stop police detective Gareth Jones from suspecting her of foul play–after all, the victim was found on her doorstep. With her journalism background, Gwen decides that it’s up to her to clear her own name. But she’ll need all the help she can get when her idyllic small-town life is turned upside down in order to stay one step ahead of the killer.  

This brand-new series by Lucy Connelly, author of the Scottish Isle mysteries, will charm cozy mystery readers everywhere.

I really enjoyed visiting Dillynaidd, Wales from the high street,  to the University and surrounding countryside. Another thing I enjoyed was the relationship between Gwen and her bff Dean Carolyn Sparks, plus the people who remembered Gwen from her university days. 

It was entertaining, full of twists and turns and I didn’t completely guess whodunnit until Gwen did.  

I highly recommend this series to all my cozy loving friends and I can’t wait for book 2 to come out!
