This series is perfect for true crime lovers who need something a bit softer. You will fall in love with the characters and be trying to solve the mystery right along with them. The story is told from a variety of perspectives and it is engaging and entertaining.

I really enjoyed this sequel! It was fast paced and it kept me entertained! I do feel like some events got a bit confusing and hard to follow, but I loved the book regardless! I’m excited to continue with the series!

Really enjoyed this book, it follows nicely on from the first book but can be read as a standalone. Looking forward to starting the third in the series.

I had this on audiobook for the gym.  I'd read the first in the series and I wanted something fairly light that I wouldn't have to focus on too much and thought this would fit the bill. I guess it did but I'm not going to bother with any of the others. It dragged and meandered and I wasn't invested in any of the characters or the mystery of who had died and who had killed them. I found it fairly twee as well. The recurring joke is the juxtaposition of middle class, middle England with crime and espionage, "let's have a cream tea and talk about the mafia. Oh dear, we've got raspberry jam which is almost as annoying as the gun violence"  it got tired pretty quickly!

Fun cosy murder mystery. A little far fetched at times. I enjoyed all the little modern day culture references and the fact that there were a few intertwined stories that left me guessing for a while.

Another book club pick I enjoyed lol

I loved this book better than the first one. Especially once we got towards the end as everything came to a head and there were a lot of twists and turns. Can’t wait to read the next two books :)
