Absolutely, sound fun. It's set in the US but I loved Vera Wang's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q Sutanto and international (but less cozy) Everytime I Go On Vacation, Someone Dies by Catherine Mack and Everyone in My Family Has Killed Somone by Benjamin Stevenson.
Love the voice and unreliable narrators in Everytime I Go On Vacation and Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone!
I tried experimenting with FMC trying to directly speak to reader dropping hints/clues in this draft, but it needs a lot of work. Have you had any clients do the same in their books?
Ah!!! Excellent taste! All of these are actually my favourite books from the last few years!
I would also recommend My Family & Other Suspects by Kate Emery. My favourite YA cosy mystery from 2024 set in Australia. The MC does the fourth wall breaks so well. I lol'd throughout!

I've heard that as long as you have books on your TBR, you are immortal, as you still have books to read. We don't argue with the logic.
