My Review:

The Agnes Eady Cozy Mystery series by Tessa Parks continues strongly with Murder at Cresswell Castle. The story begins with unexpected twists and turns that keep the pages turning quickly. All the surprises that keep the story engaging immediately captivated me.

After inheriting a castle, Agnes Eady takes a walk along the cliffs with her cat, Blighter. Below, they see Owen, a man who has fallen off the cliffs. Unfortunately, Owen doesn't survive long after Agnes rushes to help him. Agnes does her best to save him.

Chief Inspector Ian Mullen claims that many people wouldn’t care about Owen's death. They might even celebrate his passing with a beer.

Being the person she is, Agnes starts investigating Owen's death and quickly finds that Ian was telling the truth, as many have hidden motives. Naturally, Agnes ignores Ian's warning to stay out of his investigation.

Someone is trying to stop Agnes from uncovering the truth, so the more she investigates, the more danger she faces.

Because it’s so engaging, Murder at Cresswell Castle is a fast-paced book that I couldn’t put down. I kept turning the pages quickly, eager to solve the mystery. As Agnes uncovers more clues, she realizes the danger is closer than she thought. Each new discovery not only brings her nearer to the truth but also increases the stakes, forcing her to face the shadows lurking in Cresswell Castle.

I can’t wait to read the next book in the Agnes Eady Cozy Mystery series.


I highly recommend grabbing a copy of Murder at Cresswell Castle today!
