Wanda Nell is one of my favorite cozy heroines, and "old murders" are among my favorite mystery topics. So, I'm not surprised I enjoyed Leftover Dead as much as I did. The writing is smooth, the characters (most of them) kind-hearted, and the relationship between the newlyweds is sweet without going over the top. This is what cozy is all about!!!
