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

It’s such a great story. I listened to it as an audiobook and it was hard to keep track of the characters and smaller plot points for some times. Overall I am very happy with the book and I plan on continuing the series.

For a book set in a retirement community, this was so much fun. I loved how well developed and unique each character was. I also didn’t guess the killer which is unusual for me and I really appreciated that! I can’t wait to pick up the next book in the series. However, please check the content warnings because there was a scene I didn’t see coming and hit me kind of hard. I think it was written well and manageable for me but make sure you can handle it before deciding to read this
