4.5 rounded up

I continue to enjoy the characters and writing style in this series. The ending felt a bit rushed on this one, more of a follow up with Erin would've been nice, for example.

I really love this series and the meta style the author uses. Stevenson does it again! 

This was a shorter book, but packed quite a punch. Fast-paced, funny, amateur sleuthing set in Australia in the days leading up to Christmas. I wasn't planning to, but ended up reading it all in one go. 

I don't want to reveal too much, but if you liked the previous books in the series, you'll like this one too.

if you haven't read the previous ones yet, you wouldn't have any issues following this one. Whichever order you read them in, they're fantastic books.

It was such a fun short read! Very Ernest, very Christmas-y.

This series is delightful - while making fun of the genre itself, the stories are enjoyable and quick to read through.
