I like the characters and their relationships, but the mystery wasn't much of one no matter how long it took the characters to figure it out. Toward the end, the explanations and apologies kinda dragged on and I never thought a family bonding scene could be so overbearingly sweet. Plus, the C-plot of Isa wanting to break from family tradition didn't seem to have the stakes I think it was intended to. I love the writing style, but I'm not sure I need to continue on the Thistle Grove series.
