With a collection of larger-than-life suspects and two pedigree Salukis in tow, she is set to have a ruff time of it.PS nothing bad happens to the dogs!----------------------'A country house, a body in the library, a cast of dodgy wedding guests, and a prickly, dog-loving sleuth.

Mehso-so

While largely competent, this is missing a dimension and I would say what is missing is charm. There is something lacking in the characterisation and tone which makes Gwinny feel quite Karen. While many of the other characters are just blanks. Which is a problem because community is such an important part of cosy crime. Even the dogs become annoying after a while.

deirdrebeecher Also Gwinny is not penniless, she is cash poor but has inherited her father house in Chelsea and has a flat in Islington with only eight years left on the mortgage. I would love to be that poor. 🙄
