I'm normally not a big fan of cozy mysteries - I picked this one up for a reading challenge - and unfortunately this book did not change my mind. The grandma character was fun but most of the other characters barely existed. The history with the love interest is intriguing but every on page interaction with him is stupid. The killer was someone I literally forgot about until another character mentioned something they had done near the beginning of the book. The only other character with much of a personality was Raina and she was so mean for no reason. There is a plot twist I hate late in the book that did not need to be there.
