Enjoyed the first episode very much and am looking forward to the next 3! Also, am loving Judith’s scarves! Now that Fall is in full swing, gotta get mine out and incorporate them into my daily wear.

Very enjoyable- fabulous scenery and interior design, and I love Judith's outfits. I have to wonder, though, how a dog walker affords that nice stone house, and a retired archeologist came by that HUGE riverside mansion.

Also kind of hoping Beck's horrid husband is the next victim.

I liked it! Enjoy all 3 leads as individual characters. Looking forward to seeing them team up.

Judith's character reminds me a bit of Jane Seymour's Harry Wild, though perhaps a bit less...er, Wild. 😅

Only one episode in and I'm already wishing for Becks to be free of her husband.

I thought Suzie's client, Iqbal had an odd look on his face, but did not expect him to be the second victim (assuming they're related)

I was about 10 minutes in when I realized I'd read this book.  Actually, I think I listened to an audio book.  No worries though.  It was long enough ago that I remember who the killer was, but can't quite remember some of the reasoning behind it.  LOL

Looking forward to seeing the rest of it.

You won't have to worry about that next season since only 2 of the 6 episodes will be based on the 2nd book and the other 4 will be original material.

1. Judith reminds me very much of one of my BFF's step-mothers.  Who was also named Judith.
2. Agreed WRT her outfits.  Especially the black lace duster over the crisp white shirt.
3. I've got home envy.  Want a riverside home where I can take a skinny dip of a summer evening.

I have to say, this did not engage my interest at all.  I thought it was pretty lackluster and I didn't find any of the characters to be particularly worth spending time with.  I'll give it another episode, but I might be out if it doesn't pick up.  Idk, maybe I'm just getting bored with cozy mystery series.
