As an avid reader of cosy crime, Lesley Cookman's Libby Sarjeant series has become a must-have for my keeper bookshelves, and this is the best yet. In fact, they just keep getting better and better. I had intended to save Murder in the Green for my summer holidays, but started reading "just one page" and couldn't put it down until I'd finished it. I loved it! And I defy anyone to find a better opening paragraph this year. Vivid, spooky and mysterious, it not only sent shivers up my spine but also hooked me into the story and kept me hooked until the last page. As always with Lesley's novels there were red herrings a-plenty, I was sure I knew who-dunnit many, many times (and was wrong!), and I learned a lot about a subject I knew very little about. I love meeting the familiar cast of characters - especially Libby and Harry - who are now as real to me as my neighbours and can't wait for the next one. Fabulous!
