This series must be read in order. This is the first book.Sarah has just moved home with her two children to Cherringham village following her divorce. She likes that it is a boring small English town that nothing much ever happens in... That is until her childhood best friend Sammi sneaks back into town and manages to get herself murdered. She feels the need to get to the bottom of Sammi's death because her friend deserves better no matter how wild her ways were.Jack moved to the idyllic English village after his wife died because that was where they were happy. He is a retired NYPD homicide detective who wants a quiet life living on his boat with his dog... Or that's what he tells himself until he meets Sarah and discovers the mystery of Sammi's death. He solved most cases but the ones that weren't ... Well they still haunt him just as this one will if he doesn't get to the bottom of it. The locals have ruled it an accident or a suicide but he knows better. Anyone who kills needs to be stopped whether the victim deserved it or was innocent after all!This is a charming cozy murder mystery that started off slow but quickly picked up pace. I really enjoyed it and think just about any amature sleuth fans would also. The quaint English village is the perfect setting as the distrust of outsiders makes getting information and finding clues more difficult than usual in this modern technological age. It was a funny and believable story and I can't wait to readCherringham - Mystery at the Manor: A Cosy Crime Series (Cherringham ENG)!***This series is suitable for young adult through adult readers
