Thank you to Travelling Pages for sending me this FREE Complimentary Ebook to promote and review for Jonny as part of his Spotlight Tour last week.
Even tho this was only my 2nd time reading a book by this author, i have to say i really enjoyed this one alot more then i did "Ash and Sun".
This was reminded me alot of Agatha Christie's "Murder on The Orient Express" meets "Death in the Air" except with a Canadian Train Twist.
The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Cliff wasnt my favorite at first but as the story continued i started to like him more by the end.
The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Ontario while reading especially when the scenery was described.
Overall a Wonderfully Written Mystery!! Can't wait to read more by Jonny in the future!!

Wow, I was pleasingly surprised by this book! I had a lot of fun reading it.
I would say this is definitely a cozy mystery. The main focus of the story is on Cliff and his friends living at the Limestone Manor.
I've never read a book where the main characters are elderly people. I really liked that. It was so fun reading about their adventures and how they interact with each other. This book really helped me feel better about growing old. I've been thinking a lot about how each day I'm closer and closer to death and that makes me feel so much anxiety. It's very overwhelming. These characters helped me realize that being old is not that bad. You can know you don't have much time left on Earth and still have fun and feel happy.
The cast of characters is amazing. They're so unique and funny in their own way. I would love to be a part of their friend group. I particularly liked Jan. And by liking, I mean that I have a tiny crush on him. I also grew to like Cliff more and more as the story went on.
This book is full of nostalgy, as Cliff reminisced of his old days in St. Mary's. I really liked the descriptions and the overall vibe of this small town in Canada. I think it's so charming and magical. I would love to live there.
It would be wonderful if this story turned into a series. It definitely feels like this first book was a setup for a future series. There's nothing I wish more than to be back at St Mary's and see these lovely characters having more adventures.
Thanks so much to Netgalley and the publisher for providing a copy of this book.
