I had grabbed this title because I was looking for a quick and cozy mystery that looked like it would be fun.  And what would be more fun than an octogenarian busybody who also is a retired English teacher with a bookclub?Myrtle doesn’t fancy change, so when her bookclub went for a supper club instead, she wasn’t a happy person.  She’s much more at home with her books and although her book club is more into beach reads than substance, she has a plan.  Until Emma suggests a supper club and Myrtle finds herself at the losing end of the stick.Clever interactions between Myrtle and Emma are truly a highlight in the story, although Myrtle’s hunting and patience lesson from a feral cat, and the possibility that her neighbors may not be trustworthy.  While the mystery was a bit simple to sort and solve, it was well plotted without great issues.  For a quick and rather simple cozy mystery, this was the perfect short bite, and with others in the series, Myrtle Clover can become one of your trusty characters to deliver a bit of mystery and laughter to a quiet afternoon.I purchased a copy of this title for my own personal library. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.
