Definitely the best one yet. These books began kind of rocky (imo) but got so much better by book 2. The mystery in this one kept me guessing, but still had the cozy quality I love it for!! Excellent read.

Here’s the thing, I’ll read any and every book that comes out in this series. I cannot recommend them enough. They’re so fun and weirdly cozy considering all the murders. 

The prose is fun and lighthearted while also relying on some ravens for more macabre jokes. I really loved the setting of this story in particular, and the twists and turns were well done. I didn’t feel as though there were cheap tricks just to pull one over on me. Everything was adequately foreshadowed while still largely surprising me. 

Reading this at the end of August/beginning of September is 100% the play.
