A fun mystery with a splash of found family and some loveable quirky characters.

2.5 stars. This was just okay. I felt compelled to find out who the murderer was, but didn't enjoy the ride all that much. It didn't have the pacing of a good mystery, and I didn't find the characters very believable. The butler trope felt forced. Not my favorite of Susan Juby's books for sure.
