I feel like Richard Osman is hitting his stride with this books. He weaves multiple storylines while keeping the characters just as rich, funny and loveable as ever. I love reading this series and I can't wait for the next one to come out.

I adored this! I loved being back with what feels like familiar friends! 

 

It's a lighthearted, cosy mystery that's not meant to be taken seriously. It's such an easy read and I love getting lost in their world. 

 

I did guess the 'bad guy' and the twist in the end is kinda obvious - but I loved the story. 

 

Really looking forward to the next instalment.

I just love this gang and these books. I don't read a ton of murder mysteries, but I never miss one of these. I just love these characters so much! I think this might be my least favorite so far, but it's still great, and the bar is very high. And I love that I've never guessed a twist yet! Three for three.
