What a quirky group of residents living at Marigold Cottages.

They all felt safe until one resident that Mrs. B met at the bus stop and invited to live in the studio apartment arrived. Anthony was an ex-con.

All was well until a body was found outside the cottages one day. It had to be Anthony.

Mrs. B, the landlady, insisted it wasn’t Anthony after he was arrested for the murder. How could it be him? She allowed him into their little housing unit.

The tenants get together and try to solve the crime in this cozy read that is a bit confusing but has an engaging storyline mainly because of the characters and all their eccentricities.

You will love how they set up a group text to chat and keep an eye on things. There also are some scenarios that will make you chuckle.

Not my usual read, but entertaining. 4/5

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
