A widow in a mansion. Dark secrets. And poison, deadly poison.
After amateur detective Molly Sutton stumbles on a dead body, she wastes no time before eavesdropping and elbowing her way into conversations all over the French village of Castillac. But when Chief Dufort is about to clap handcuffs on the wrong man, she’s got to do more than chat to save him. Will she have the stuff—and the skill—to … the stuff—and the skill—to pull it off?
The Luckiest Woman Ever is the second book in the Molly Sutton Mystery series. (Though you learn more about Molly and her friends reading the books in order, the mysteries are standalone.) If expertly woven cozy mysteries, characters with depth, and detectives with a taste for French food are your thing, Nell Goddin’s tales of murder will be right up your alley.
Come follow the twists and turns of the case along with Molly–get your copy of The Luckiest Woman Ever today!

Reads like a PR piece for France.
A good murder mystery, with a plot twist that I never saw coming. Although this is part of a series (which I recommend), it is a stand-alone book.
Enjoyed this fun story.
A slow relaxing who done it .
It was ok. Not a great read for me.
About a mean woman who dies at the beginning. The trick is to guess who killed her. Entertaining.
This is the 2nd book in the Molly Sutton series, I like the lead character, Molly who is sooo nosy yet interesting. Love Chief Ben Dufort and the other second-player’s in this series and recommend the series to any looking for an enjoyable mystery. However, I’m a little upset that the author considers a 71/72 year-old — old because I’m heading in that direction (I pray). I do understand where the comment is coming from the — ‘younger generation’. At 40 and 50 I thought 70 was old as well.
Somewhat predictable as most of this genre is, but a fun read.
Enjoyed it and am reading series
Great little sleuthing story . Love the cultural twist of an American trying to adapt to her new home and business in a small French town.
Interesting characters
Fast moving read. Kept my interest.
I loved this book so much I have bought everything else this author has written in the Molly Sutton series. Her setting in France is perfect, her characters get developed more In each book until you just LOVE them for their quirks and personalities. Her books are far from predictable and the plot twists and turns keep you reading on the edge of your seat. I can’t wait for her to write more books!
Is “cosy mystery” now a genre? I’d call this one “cosy”. Charming people in a charming place with just enough of a mystery to keep it moving. Back in my high tension work days, I needed this kind of book as a “mind fluffer” – something short and sweet that let my over stressed brain cells relax and renew. Even now with my more relaxed life, The Luckiest Woman Ever is a delight.
It took me awhile to figure it out, but I really liked that the killer turned out to be a very nice lady whom I didn’t figure out until almost the end.
It shows what a mother will do for her children. Almost real.
Love the setting. Solution to the mystery was kind of a let-down.
Enjoyable book. I liked the characters and the mystery.
A good read, mystery and you get insight into life for an American in a French village.
Fun to read and hard to put down though easy to follow but surprise ending.
Interesting story, but a little slow.
