Glory Be

Glory is a woman of a certain age, her husband has left her, her mother has died and now she finds her best friend dead. The police say suicide but Glory refuse to believe it.

Glorys daughter Delphine, a lawyer from New York shows up after her marriage falls a part and together they try to find out what actually happened.

I don't like Glory much, she's kind of rude and judgmental, she gets better but...
No spoilers, Delphine is not a nice person either. (She does something more than once that is a big no no for me).

Despite this there's some humor and fun in this, nice to read something that isn't as cookie cutter as the majority of the murder mystery books that I read. Some cursing in this one, know some hate that.

Agatha award nominee for best debut novel 2024!
A bit slow in beginning due to 1st book in a series & character building & introductions. Really got into this about the 35% part of book. Main character Glory is fun and has no problems in stating her mind!
Good backup characters and a good mystery to boot (Not always found in Cozy Mysteries).
Book 2 of the series will be out in the last half of 2024 and want to read! David N.
