Moderate stakes cozy-ish read. This was more emotional than the summary implied. Hits on some serious topics (scamming the elderly, PTSD) I really wanted to line this book but it didn't connect. It fell flat and felt shallow in parts, like being told instead of shown. Technically DNF; skimmed the last 25% to get to the end. It wasn't a happy ending but it was realistic. I wasn't invested enough in the characters to care, but was curious how the author would wrap things up given the lack of depth and length of the book.

selazem's review
There was a part in the book that had a flashback of a mass casualty event for one of the characters and it triggered my own ptsd from a local tragedy. It didn’t have content warnings in the book so I wasn’t anticipating it and would recommend that they are added.
