This is the second entry in this series, the first being Dead Men Don’t Lye (also reviewed on this site). If, like this reviewer, you share the Perkins clan’s passion for soapmaking then you will enjoy listening in on the classes. But even if the whole idea bores you rigid there is a pleasing detective story in here too, as well as another helping of the Perkins clan’s daily life. As in all the best cozy books, Harper’s Landing is the sort of small town many of us would love to live in, and Myers is at his best when he is describing it all. The actual murder was quite easy to solve - a flaw - but was still to the fore all the time as it should be in a mystery novel, whatever else is on hand. I liked the way everything in the story fit together, with nothing seeming as if it had been grafted on (no mean feat, and one many writers seem unable to manage). Narrator Ben is a good person to tell the tale, coming over like an ordinary Joe we can relate to and telling all the events as they happen, keeping me entertained the whole time. A most engaging series.
