Complex plot, interesting and distinct characters, but the British narrator was jarring for a story set in Massachusetts!

Good intro for a new-to-me mystery series! But why did they choose a British narrator for a story set in the USA?

If you're into mysteries, this might be for you. As I am not a huge mystery reader, I was not pulled into the story as much as I would have liked.

A mystery for Victoria Trumbull to solve. Colley Jameson editor of the Island Enquirer fires Victoria from her 50-year position as columnist, but then hires her to investigate the obits he his receiving in the mail confirming/predicting his demise.

Colley Jameson is not a good man, a considerate man, or even a likeable man. But the twist at the end was totally unexpected! Good read.
