The characters are quirky, sharp, and utterly endearing. And the story weaves together life, loss, family, drama, and unexpected friendship into a compelling narrative filled with both humour and heart.⁣ ⁣ For years, Sally Hepworth’s books have topped my must-read list, and just when I thought I couldn’t love her work any more, she proved me wrong yet again. πŒπ€πƒ πŒπ€ππ„π‹ is mystery writing at its finest, and I absolutely loved it.⁣ ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£β£π‘πšπ­π’π§π : 🌟🌟🌟🌟⁣🌟⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ❓Any plans this weekend?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ #MadMabel #SallyHepworth #StMartinsPress #SMPInfluencers #mysterybooks
