I wasn’t sure if I should rate this 4.5 or 5 stars, but I honestly enjoyed this so much that I talked my own mothers ear off about it. So, definitely a 5 star read! 

Finlay was so funny and 100% relatable as a hot-mess mom. My sister has three kids under 3 and I honestly was so amused by Finlay that I could exactly imagine her chaos because of my own sister. Clearly the events were fetched, but still so believable I thoroughly enjoyed the way this went. 

It was lighthearted and amusing, and the mystery was definitely grabbing. At no part of this whole series of events did I fall into boredom. It kept me captivated the entire time. Not to mention, the absolute embarrassment I felt as Finlay was too funny. 

I was so happy I read this over Mother’s Day weekend, and it was so good I took my mum to the bookstore to get the second.

I just laughed so hard at points in this book. Findlay is a relatable character and the mystery keeps you going back for more.

 THIS WAS SO GOOD. This is everything I want in a mystery. A really good mystery to solve, killing bad guys, and not taking itself too seriously. I was skeptical about everything. I didn't trust anyone or anything, but in the best way. And that cliffhanger!!! I can't wait until the next book comes out.
