Charming. A bit slow, but the cast is likable and friendly. There was no way to know or guess the identity of the killer. Theodosia was chasing the wrong motive. I like the subtle romance that’s probably going to develop between Jory Davis, an attorney in Theo’s father’s old law firm, and Theo. I will read the rest of this series for this reason. I also liked given the cast pronouced Southern accents. Some of the dialog would have sounded absurd without them.

Enjoyed it!
