I enjoyed most things about this book: the premise, the characters, the banter. Just did not engage so well with the mystery. I will be trying the next in the series.

I was obsessed with the first third of this book-it seemed a lot like a Curtis Sittenfeld, so as it got into the more murder mystery part I didn’t find it quite as engaging. But that was more of a me thing with my expectations and usual genre. Once I realised, and readjusted my expectations it was a fun, enjoyable read, and I will probably read the second in the series once it is released.
