I thought this was very cute, and the writing style from Joyce's perspective is a delight. I did struggle with that thing where when there are a bunch of characters, I have a hard time keeping everyone's characteristics separate. But I thought this was fun, and I would continue to read this series.

Super fun book to read, a delightful collection of characters, this book had me pondering, laughing, sad, and pause for reflection. Super entertaining & intriguing, highly recommended for mystery lovers and those looking for a mystery book that is a bit less grim. Perfect for a rainy or Snowy day read.
