ehhh. alice's pov got annoying real quick and everyone kept saying they wanted to murder the victim before and after it actually happened. I think I'll try the next one, because I did really like Hamish and would like to see him with a different cast and a different case.

I thought I’d enjoy this satirical cosy mystery, but it’s so full of casual misogyny, fatphobia and classism, it might be better left in the past.
