Innocent or guilty, the stakes are high. The silver dagger - By Angela Dandy - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you haven't read the reviews for the other three books in this series then please do because you'll fully understand why I was so excited to be part of this tour! I'm HOME! Back at Magnolia Court! And my favourite bunch of old people. Just like the other books in this series this gave off a cosy mystery vibe again but this felt more serious than the others and I think that's because it included some more heavy themes. Great third book in their series and thoroughly enjoyed myself! I love how this book included a different culture and it did it in a way that wasn't offensive! I'm so glad Gabby returned as I really liked her character! Once again Angela smashed it out the park with this book! - 10000000% recommend! (Autumnal Reading)
