Live and Let Diet, by Morgana Best, was also in the box sent up by Wandering Reader. Looks to be the first in the Australian Amateur Sleuth series. It starts out with a familiar theme: main character, Sybil, has moved to a small town to make a new start. (There is a most unpleasant ex-hubby). She will be living in a small house that is part of a larger, somewhat rundown and rather spooky mansion. Residents there are a bit ... quirky. There is a death, one which looks to be from natural causes, but she smells cyanide, something not everyone can do (I did not know this!) and convinces the local police to at least test for it ... which puts her at risk. There was a twist at the end that I did not see coming, and, something I don't think I've read before. See what you think!
