Keeled Over at the Cliffside is the first book in a cozy series by Nancy Stewart featuring a neurodivergent innkeeper, and amateur sleuth. Released 15th Aug 2024, it's 302 pages and is available in ebook format (other editions available in other formats). It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links and references throughout. For Kindle Unlimited subscribers, this book is currently included in the KU subscription library to borrow and read for free. The other books in the series are also currently available on KU.
Cozy shopfront/innkeeper small town mystery. The author has a good grasp of plotting and pacing. Some of the characterizations and dialogue are a bit over the top (even for a cozy), but not egregiously so. The denouement and resolution are satisfying, if heavily foreshadowed. The author/publisher have also included a handful of recipes featured in the books for readers to enjoy at home.
Three and a half stars. There are four books extant at the moment, and it's an ongoing series. It would make a good choice for a holiday binge/buddy read; especially nice that it's currently included in the kindle unlimited library.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
