I quickly fell in love with our main characters and all the humor they brought to the story. The story itself was compelling from start to finish, and I had so much fun trying to solve the mystery as I read.
I did have a few minor nitpicks, but they were mostly with the writing --- a couple things weren't explained very well and left me a little confused, and I also believe there were some verb tense errors at the beginning of the book.
Overall, though, this was an excellent book, and I will definitely be continuing on with the series!

Also, I know it's a murder mystery but I wasn't expecting so much casual death. Was a bit grim at times.

I also like how it alludes to things they have done before coming to CC and I‘m really excited to learn more about Elizabeth‘s past at some point, even though I have a hunch about her vocation. I like how the author often sets us on wrong tracks until we suddenly understand what exactly is happening or who is involved; it often made me notice that I am still, unfortunately, thinking in a very socially normative (not to say heteronormative, able-bodied, ageist kind of way, because I pride myself on AT THE VERY LEAST noticing if I do and correcting myself; so rather in a pop culturally normalised) way, MILD UNSPOILERY
Oh and also, Joyce and Donna teaching Elizabeth how to be modern and and correct and inclusive in her way of speaking? Love.
