The Golden Spoon by Jessa Maxwell

1.5

lighthearted medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: No

---

The actual murder, though teased in the prologue, only happens right at the end of the book.

It’s not all that mysterious, and I found several threads of the mystery predictable. The setting/concept is original and drew me in, but the plot content is not original. The characters are not well-developed and lack dimension.
