being back with this series is like a warm hug. every time i think a character has finished being explored, i'm wrong. this book had me sobbing and laughing almost every other chapter. the new characters being brought in to fill the hole of a certain character (sobbed the most at that) are just as wonderful as the ones we already know. the characters - whilst being a stereotype of a person at their cores - feel so real as we go through their everyday lives as well as the plot of the actual story.

once again, 5 stars. loved it.

This book made me nearly cry at the cricket

Wasn't expecting it to be as sad as it turned out to be.

I love funny whodunnits so this was right up my alley despite sobbing several times while reading this book. Better than the 2nd and 3rd books which I also enjoyed. I wouldn’t dare compare anything to the first book because the characters were so fun to meet for the first time.
