Reviews for Miss Pym Disposes

[Kay Smith · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

For my tastes, it was a lot of words and characters for a little bit of plot.

[Debbie Dawley · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Fantastic story line and a wonderful narrator. I listen to so many books in Cozy and Not So Cozy, crime genre but this one’s outstanding.
