I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.
This series was recommended to me by my fellow cozy readers, but I have to say, this one didn't do much for me (the books get much much better as the series progresses). I found Abby to be a bit over the top, and everyone keeps calling her a meddler and nosy. It was really off-putting to me.
The mystery was good, with a lot of suspects. Luckily my fellow readers assured me each book is better than the last, and I'm glad I stuck with the series.
