If you're looking for a much better cozy mystery, check out The Noodle Shop Mystery Series by Vivien Chien. The first one is titled "Death By Dumpling."

I'm conflicted over Agent Nichol's character, because if it wasn't for the convenience of 3rd person omniscient POV letting the reader know that she's egotistical, super arrogant, "I can do no wrong/admit to being wrong. Ever." then I'd think she reads as neurodivergent. Also kind of frustrating that no one actually calls her on her bullshit and just plainly points it out. Idk if she'd understand it then, but clearly she's not getting the "hints" Gamache tries to point her toward.
