This is a much slower book than the previous one. These stories track the back stories of Maud and those close to her.You do have to suspend belief for some of them, since how is it the police , or guess the ME,

track that almonds was the cause of death or that the murder weapon was a cane? Does Maud rid of the cane after the murder? I assume she doesn’t take it with her to the gathering with the other travelers, but then wouldn’t that be out of character for her??

  I guess since this is more about Maud and her murdering schemes, there isn’t a need to go into details for the other side. It just feels un-thrurough, for a lack of a better word. Maybe I watch too much SVU 😂

I enjoyed this book, especially as we got to see more into Maud’s past. I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the ending, though. I hope there will be another book to tie up some loose ends!
