Fun setting and cast of characters. The mystery was fine though I kept getting two of the suspects mixed up. Probably my fault.

17th december 2022:

I would like to say that this book was enjoyable but unfortunately it was just an okay read. The main character was quick to place her suspicions on a character when earlier in the book she mentioned a potential suspect not having a motive. And the motive she does end up finding doesn't seem well founded at all. 

I had a problem with that because it was obvious the author was guiding things to happen in a certain way instead of me following the character in her investigation. 

I appreciated at least because it was intriguing but that's about it.

Final rating: 2/5 stars
