Brilliant read! This book was witty, funny, entertaining, emotional and exciting. I did like "The Thursday Murder Club" a lot although I remember it to be a lot more long-winded, probably due to the need for introducing the main characters, so this was a faster read. The shorter chapters were also very helpful for my currently short attention span. A lot of feelings here, which felt relatable. The conclusion was feel good and not open-ended, thank goodness. Looking forward to reading the next books in this series!

I loved this book so much, there’s so many twists I didn’t see coming. The characters are beautifully written and their relationships are all really touching. Definitely better than the first one. A perfect cosy mystery

While not as memorable as the first book, this sequel is just as charming and mysterious. The world building and characters are easily the best part of this series meaning that any book about them is guaranteed to be a hit. My one complaint is the plot hole of time-flow. This book takes place one week after it’s predecessor! Give these characters time to emotionally and physically recover from the last book Osman!!

This was an excellent followup from book 1, with a tighter and more action packed mystery but the same loveable characters and light humour.
