If you are interested in a fairly unpredictable mystery, some funny lines, and a really interesting dynamic between the characters, this might be a good book for you. I found it to be a really enjoyable light read and for the most part I really liked our main character. 

This book is marketed as being witty on the hardcover that I had, and generally I really like your humor. There were some moments that gave me and not like other girl vibes, but overall I think that was because stuff was told rather than shown in the way that the humor throughout the rest of the book was. I really like the relationships that were throughout the book and I am so disappointed that my library does not have the second book in the series available for me to binge. But I have it on hold now and I am excited to be able to read it soon.

A fun, cozy mystery! Definitely a great palette cleanser between heavier reads.

This was a case of the right book at the right time for me. I immensely enjoyed this historical mystery on audio and can't wait to read the sequel next spring!
