Very average book. The plot is not very inventive, the ending felt rushed and there were too many "twists" to be enjoyable. The four main characters were also very unlikable for me. The humour is the book's only strength in the end.

The beginning felt slow and dragged out. Luckily it picked up some pace towards the end.

It’s such a great story. I listened to it as an audiobook and it was hard to keep track of the characters and smaller plot points for some times. Overall I am very happy with the book and I plan on continuing the series.

For a book set in a retirement community, this was so much fun. I loved how well developed and unique each character was. I also didn’t guess the killer which is unusual for me and I really appreciated that! I can’t wait to pick up the next book in the series. However, please check the content warnings because there was a scene I didn’t see coming and hit me kind of hard. I think it was written well and manageable for me but make sure you can handle it before deciding to read this
