I really enjoyed the mystery, found myself racing to the end to discover who had done it and would read more of the series, but I was frustrated by a few things - namely the fatphobia and focus on the main characters weight which felt a bit Bridget Jones and completely unnecessary? 

Nearly all the male characters in this book were completely unbearable too, although that did eventually make sense in the context of the story.
