If you like Agatha Christie (I can't remember if you do?) then this should be very appealing. Plenty of locked room style puzzles and atmosphere and very much the sort of book that gets labelled cozy. There's also enough variety to keep it interesting, and nothing very long so they're perfect for filling the odd twenty minutes or half an hour. Worth a punt basically.
