Excellent mystery book! The writing was very clever and engaging, and the cast of characters was rich and dimensional. At its core, this book is a cozy mystery, but more than that, it's a book about people and life. It goes beyond the typical cozy mystery by making characters that are often flat and tropes in other mystery series into people with pasts, loves, lives, and souls. Genuinely, great book. I've ordered the rest of the series, so I'm looking forward to more shenanigans from the Thursday Mystery Club.

This book keeps the reader on their toes in a good way. I spent most of the book trying to guess and figure out the clues. The characters make the mystery so much fun that you sometimes pay more attention to the characters and their relationships than the actual crime, which is refreshing for a mystery novel. I would definitely read this again and recommend it to anyone who is even slightly intrigued by the premise.
