CHAPTER AND CURSE was literally everything I look for in a cozy mystery: it's got a likable heroine, a swoon-worthy hero, a little black cat, cozy English village setting, secret bookshop inheritance, and, of course, lots of sinister murders. If this took me a while to get through, it was mostly because I didn't want it to end.
Wish fulfillment fantasy at its finest, a mother and daughter trio move from Vermont to Cambridge to live with a distant aunt in her bookshop. But she's having thorny issues of debt and inheritance and then somebody frames her for murder! OH NO! Luckily, her aunt has tons of friends, and there's the son of a hot duke to help them look into things. But as it turns out, some of auntie's friends aren't so friendly, and they have secrets that go back DECADES.
Reading this made me want to move back to the UK. Lord, I miss those tiny little villages.
4 to 4.5 out of 5 stars
