Another enjoyable, light-hearted romp of a mystery, with an expanding cast of delightful characters and a need to suspend disbelief and just go with the flow. Great summer fun!

I enjoyed the previous books in the series well enough, but ran out of patience with this one. It didn't hook me in. The atmosphere is less fun.

4.5 I feel like these just keep getting better and better. I think the rich and in depth character development is the reason these novels are so enjoyable. The mysteries are pretty solid too but the four main characters are what I'm coming back for.

Loved it. Big fan of Osman's books. Cozy mysteries with lots of comedy and a cast of zany senior citizens who fancy themselves as detectives. I suppose you do not have to read them in order, but I don't know why you would not do so.
