These are such wonderful books. I'm so happy I delved straight into the next one. I'm not even a big mystery reader, but I'll read every one of these, assuming more are coming. I even recommended them to a complete stranger the other day. The loveable and resourceful characters are everything.

I enjoyed reading the first book but found listening to the second book to be even better.

Absolutely love spending time with these characters and trying to unravel the mystery! Osman keeps me guessing the whole time. Can't wait to see what he cooks up next.

What a treasure. I loved the first book in this series and loved this one even more. This struck a great balance of plot- and character-drivenness just like the first book. Osman is able to do my favorite thing in crime/mystery which is: take seriously the gravity of the harmful behavior we label as criminal (murder etc), humanize the "bad guys," and add levity with humor so the whole thing doesn't get too depressing. And yes there are cops in this book but no, I wouldn't label it as copaganda. Come for the mystery, stay for the absolutely endearing, believably realistic cast of characters, leave with at least one fond tear in your eye.
