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

This has everything you could want in a cosy mystery. There is a lot of dialogue which was very well-written. The mysteries make sense. The characters are the true joy, though.

I loved this! I find it very comforting reading about old people getting into mess. It was some sad (?) moments tho that took me off guard. The amount/length of chapters threw me off at first but if you think about it like a show or movie then you see that every chapter is just a cut to a new location or POV. I will say, that one of the character's storyline was him feeling unloveable because he was fat, and well that sucked.
