So far this sounds simple enough, but there is far more packed into these pages than just this. It is one of those books that get more and more tortuous and fascinating the further in you go, and is certainly one of the best cozies I have read for some time. Told in Aggie's own words, this gives a lively look at the secrets behind the twitching curtains of a small town, and lifts the lid on all sorts of sins. There is more in here than that, as Aggie raises her children, copes with the minutiae of daily life and who can resist any book with the winning first line "Teddy was getting ready to bury the cat again"? This also looks as though it might be one of those series that will be read for more than just its whodunit and coziness, as we get tantalising glimpses of Aggie's unconventional family and book two Let There Be Suspects looks even more interesting. Emilie Richards is definitely one to watch - 2005's best cozy debut.
