Description
"Autistic, asexual, and almost forty, Pineapple "Motts" Mottley flees London with her cat and turtle to a quaint cottage in Cornwall. She craves the peace of life in a small village. The dead body buried in her garden isn't quite what she had in mind, though. Unable to resist her curiosity, she falls directly into a mess of trouble and runs head-first into the attractive detective inspector, Teo Herceg. She tries to balance her business with the investigation, but as the killer focuses on her, staying alive becomes trickier than advanced origami. Will Motts survive the onslaught of murderously bad luck? Can she solve the mystery before it all spins out of control and off a cliff?"

A cosy mystery with all the ingredients: A small village, a corpse, several suspects acting suspicious and a heroine who, in spite of, or maybe because of, all her awkwardness and anti-sociability, the equally quirky supporting cast simply adores, at any time of the day or night dropping whatever
Not as concise as it might have been, and might profit from cutting back on the repetitions: It’s already in the blurb, so the author might rely on the reader having got that the heroine is autistic, asexual and all the rest, there’s no need to remind them on every other page.
Overall, a quick and easy and often fun read. I specially liked the amount and variety of eatables mentioned throughout the narrative, reading which used to make me grow peckish. ;-)
