I recently finished the lovely cosy mystery written by Beatrice Fishback. I have read a couple of the books in her Bethel Manor series of novels, and know I like her style of writing. 

Winter Writerland is set at a writer’s conference in central England where American teacher, Daisy, has retired. She meets up with her friends Allison, Fiona, Jennifer, June and Val at the conference. Poor June is found by Fiona: she is dead in the lake. As the conference centre was cut off in Winter weather, the women have to assist one of the lecturers, Detective Sergeant Decker, to find out the cause of her death.

If you enjoy a cosy crime story with lots of twists and turns and a good dash of humour, I highly recommend Writer Winterland. The novel is published by Crooked Cat Books.
