I liked this book, but I did not love it. I felt that the plot was slow and the characters themselves were not developed as much as I would have liked. I also feel that the sexual content, while mild, was more explicit than necessary. Note while this is considered a "Cozy murder mystery", several hard topics are discussed in the process as the four main characters get to know each other. These include domestic and child abuse, teen pregnancy, drunk driving...to name a few. That being said, I do think the theme of friendship through adversity was a nice touch to the story.

The strength of this story lies in two things. One- its absolute coziness. I promise you will spend this book hungry for sweet treats and longing to visit your local bookstore. Two- its complex, aloof, sharp, and hilarious main characters Nora. I will continue this series for those things alone.

If you’re a heavy mystery reader I wouldn’t recommend this first book though! The mystery itself wasn’t interesting to me, but the characters and their stories was what kept me going.

You can tell the author loves books very much and if you like me have been stuck in a reading rut, this book might be the one for you (it also includes many namedrops and recs so it may be a gateway to other lovely titles). The mystery solution is quite satisfying, the book had me guessing all along. I felt inspired by the courage of the members of the secret club, they are people of no big influence or power and yet they risk their livelihoods for whats right, and they listen to their intuition. Im so glad that there is a sequel as I would miss the characters very much.
