I'm a huge fan of (some may say obsessed with) the Inn at Holiday Bay series, so when there was a crossover introducing Ainsley, I was excited to dig into this series and I absolutely love it! Ainsley and her new group of friends are a plucky bunch, resourceful and determined in their investigation into a young woman's death, and heroic in their rescue. The main plot of Cammy's death was a little different than most cozies in that there was really only one suspect, so they were just looking for proof, and the cracking good ending made for an exciting read.
As with Abi's search for answers in the Inn at Holiday Bay series, Ainsley's search for the truth of her adoption will span several books. I'm looking forward to seeing that mystery unfold as well.
I really enjoyed this debut book of the Gooseberry Bay series and definitely recommend it (and the Inn at Holiday Bay series!) to cozy fans looking for well crafted characters and excellent plots.
