I love the characters in this book, the dry humor, and the many twists in a plot that remains accessible yet full of surprises. I also really enjoyed the many different view points and the short chapters that made it easy to pick this book up and read for a few minutes or a few hours. A perfect mystery for me (and really more than one mystery solved). I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

I liked this. It was a cozy mystery, with a wonderful cast of old characters. Quite refreshing seeing elderly people in the center of a book.
I will say this did nothing extraordinary for me - yes it was enjoyable, but I will not continue on in the series. I think this book can stand on it's own very well.

it's so fast paced so it's perfect for me to read (ADHD) and help me to get out of my reading SLUMP! Thanks to Storygraphs streak thingy too hahaha.

You would love this book if you love films/visual media . It's because each chapter is so short and is written in a way like scenes in a film. Which make sense later on, when I realise the author works in British TV production haha. Book is easy to digest and my god - SO MANY TWISTS. So in love with Osman's writing!

5/5 for me because I have a soft spot for elderly and been fascinated by any sort of crime growing up. So this was perfect for me. I always like to think what I'll become as an elderly and I look forward to it. And this book really showed me that! It's funny, witty, but also heart warming and made me cry. I love the characters so much too. This books also talks about death. And with my current health condition with chronic illness at a young age, this book is oddly comforting.

This book is like a warm blanket that comforted me in this difficult time.

Really enjoyed this one, especially the tone and voice and characters. I’ll be reading the sequel for sure. I only marked down a couple points because I felt like the ending got a little convoluted, but I was mostly in it for the story anyway.
