The Deadly Mystery of the Missing Diamonds by T.E. Kinsey

3.0

It's just... as much as I love the style, the writing, the characters, and the banter.... the *mystery* is left on the backburner, rather than being at the forefront. His ratio is off, which is sad because it makes it more cozy mystery than fun fiction. It'd be one thing if it was just a one off, but I'm concerned because that was the trajectory of the Lady Hardcastle series - it started off really fun and interesting but the later books moved to only being about what to eat and do in the evenings, ohandbytheway a mystery.

C'mon, TE Kinsey! Give your characters something to investigate and your readers something to solve!
