Description
After forty years of happy marriage, Leonard thought he knew his wife Rose as well as he knew himself. It’s only after her sudden death that he finds her old handbag, which contains a mystery he can’t ignore.
Accompanied by Lily, his wife’s childhood friend, Leonard becomes a reluctant detective as his whole life starts to unravel . . .
The Blue Handbag is steeped in a quiet poetry which reminds us to take pleasure from the ordinary details of life—reading stories to our children, sharing silence with our friend over a beer, enjoying the plants Leonard tends for a living—and never to take anything for granted.

Re-read. This was the first cozy mystery book I ever read. I’m still not really into this genre but love this book because it is so beautifully written. The mystery of Leonard’s late wife’s secret is slowly and subtly revealed. Excellent writing!
