Review: Good Heroines in Search of a Good Plot

I found the two widows, mother and daughter, to be potentially interesting leads in a new cozy mystery series. The mystery which they take it upon themselves to solve in this opener, however, never grabbed me.. I never felt a bit of suspense over the question of who dun it nor took seriously the "dangers" into which their quest led them. If you have read and liked later books in the series, then you would not be ill served to read this one to get at the beginnings. For those seeking, as many of us do, ever newer series in which to immerse ourselves, this is not a particularly good first encounter. It is not a bad book but s decent one. Any given cozy reader may find it better than did I; a non-cozy devotee might reasonably find it rather on the dull side.
