Super cute, fun mystery with a delightfully strange family of private investigators! Excellent 5-hour audiobook with lovely narration and a quick clip. Nothing too heavy, but I was eager to see the pieces come together. Delightfully determined, slightly rough around the edges FMC who loves her family fiercely even if she would never say it. Feels a little like Veronica Mars meets Royal Tenenbaums with a tiny hint of Jessica Jones. I’ll likely tear through the series.
Small note: there are a couple quick languages choices around gender identity late in the book that wouldn’t hold up today, but were standard at the time; nothing pejorative.
