Murder. Mayhem. A madcap lady vicar.Reverend Annabelle Dixon is the charming, slightly gauche, very tall, thirty-something vicar of St. Mary’s Church located in the picturesque village of Upton St. Mary in Cornwall, England. Recently appointed to her rural church position, Annabelle is beloved by her parishioners for dispensing good advice and godly wisdom with humor and charm while zipping her … while zipping her Mini Cooper around the country lanes and attempting to build a relationship with her church cat, Biscuit, who, quite frankly, couldn’t care less.
Trouble arises when Annabelle faithfully welcomes a new resident to her quaint parish. Her visit to the latest newcomer, Sir John Cartwright, is two-fold: to greet him and to dispel rumors of shady doings at the manor. This time, however, instead of tea and cakes, Annabelle is served a heaping plate of murder and a fine helping of handsome Inspector Mike Nicholls!
Filled with laugh-out-loud moments and cake and pastry recipes, this humorous, cozy mystery is an excellent introduction to the Reverend Annabelle Dixon series.

Such a character!!
Loved the characters and the recipes.
This felt like it was written at middle grade level. I couldn’t finish it.
Enjoy reading cozy mysteries for relaxation. They are usually just plain fun and quick reads, with interesting twists and turns. Often charming settings reminiscent of travels in the USA and abroad.
Fun! You fall in love with the characters and can’t wait for the next one. Ended up buying every book in the series.
Love it!
Easy entertainment ready, great for the beach!

enjoyed this book. interesting, fun, light mystery. humor too
Clean read
The plot concept was good and characters were innovative, but I didn’t warm to the main character. I would probably not read a 2nd book with this author.
