I’ve tried to be patient with this trilogy — which is clearly being teased into a lengthy series, based on the churning out of cliffhanger endings. But for whatever reason, the protagonist and her love triangle/foils/secondary characters feel unfailingly bland and lifeless to me. Fantastic cosy crime book I love everything about this book. Can't wait for the next in the series... Had me on the edge of my seat ' Reader review, 5 stars this part cozy mystery meets police procedural is an intelligent, authentic, and quirky read which I would highly recommend… THE AUTHOR: After spending sixteen years as an ecologist, crawling through undergrowth and studying nocturnal habits of animals (and people), Dr Sarah Yarwood-Lovett naturally turned her mind to murder. She may have swapped badgers for bears when she emigrated from a quaint village in the South Downs to the wild mountains of the Pacific Northwest, but her books remain firmly rooted in the rolling downland she grew up in.
Rats show empathy with other rats.
The Major Crimes Unit led by detective sergeant James Clark and detective crime inspector Val Johnson treats Nell as both a potential suspect and witness. They grow even more suspicious when they discover that Ward had been hiding part of her identity from them. When a driver dies during a glamourous classic car event at her family's estate, Dr Nell Ward is in a race against time to uncover the truth and prevent the killer from making a speedy getaway... The action is non-stop... Colourful cast of characters, a compelling plot... a wholly immersive one sit read' Reader review, 5 stars

In January 2015, an international "Rat Team" set sail from the Falkland Islands for the British Overseas Territory of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands on board a ship carrying three helicopters and 100 tons of rat poison with the objective of "reclaiming the island for its seabirds". Rats have wiped out more than 90% of the seabirds on South Georgia, and the sponsors hope that once the rats are gone, it will regain its former status as home to the greatest concentration of seabirds in the world. The South Georgia Heritage Trust, which organized the mission describes it as "five times larger than any other rodent eradication attempted worldwide". [55] That would be true if it were not for the rat control program in Alberta (see below). That part is true. The rest is a mixture of history and myth, with a sprinkle of superstition thrown in for good measure.

PMID 20729800. So, there's a lot going on, with the Finchmere annual event's reputation, and more importantly, Nell's family's reputation, on the line, ratcheting up the tension. A Mischief of Rats just didn't draw me in. It was an okay read for me, no more. And the only rats in evidence are human ones. In doing so, you can create a much more harmonious environment and a much less competitive social network.
