I feel like it was just aimed at an older age group, wasn't a bad book though just takes a while to read

I liked the humor of the novel as there were plenty of quippy liners and despite having heard this novel had a lot of British humor in it (which worried me as an American that I wouldn’t get the humor) but it was still enjoyable. I think the ending was underwhelming and I got a bit loss on the details. However, since I need to read finish the second book for a book club, I will be continuing with the series (and I did genuinely enjoy my time with it)

The beginning felt slow. Luckily it picked up some pace towards the end.

I don't read mysteries much, but I think that's about to change!  This book was so much fun and so addicting (I didn't want to put it down)! 
 I quickly fell in love with our main characters and all the humor they brought to the story.  The story itself was compelling from start to finish, and I had so much fun trying to solve the mystery as I read.

I did have a few minor nitpicks, but they were mostly with the writing --- a couple things weren't explained very well and left me a little confused, and I also believe there were some verb tense errors at the beginning of the book.  

Overall, though, this was an excellent book, and I will definitely be continuing on with the series!
