Book seven in this fun series and hey - nobody died! Is that allowed? Someone always dies in a cosy mystery don't they?
Despite the ominous picture on the cover there is a crime but no death. Addison and her team are back, causing trouble, cooking and eating a lot, and trying to sort out the mystery of the girl in the graveyard. I like the relationship Addison has with the police in the small town of Getaway Bay and the way the author does not let her step over the bounds of reasonability.
Light, entertaining and well written. I am hoping for lots more!

When Addison met up with the young girl while she was walking Charlie at the beach and learned who she was - after she’d first seen her by the grave - Addison was happy for Layla. But she was also a little uneasy. Things didn’t sit quite right for Addison, and she didn’t want to see Layla hurt again after all she’d been through the previous year. While Layla was happy, Addison and her guests at the Beach House did their best to work out what was going on, even going so far as to enlist the local policeman, Isaac for help. But he was tied up with a couple of local burglaries…
The Girl by the Grave is the 7th in the Getaway Bay Cozy Mystery Series by Aussie author Grace York, and once again it was a great mystery although a little different this time. And I didn't pick the ending! An excellent twist! Set in far north Queensland, about 4 hours north of Brisbane, Getaway Bay sounds a delightfully restful place – apart from the events which make up each book 😉 The characters are easy to like – Addison is the centre of it all; a great baker and cook, with her fellow police volunteer, Adam plus the other writers who reside at the guest house. I’ve come to know the residents of Getaway Bay more after each book, and I can’t wait for the next - #8 The Holiday Homicide - which comes out in December this year. Highly recommended!

This was another enjoyable read in this well written and engaging mystery series featuring Addison Lake and the folk of Getaway Bay.
A teenage girl is seen hanging around the graveyard who seems to have a family connection with Addison's cousin Layla, but Addison is not convinced that the girl isn't hiding something. Layla's has only recently recovered from the deaths of her father and sister and her art gallery burning down so Addison doesn't want her hurt again and decides to find out more about the mystery girl.
Another quick, fun episode made all the more delicious by the description of the goodies Addison bakes.
