Charming. So remarkably charming. The writing style practically sparkles off the page.
I'm unreasonably sad that this is the only mystery with this particular duo because I'd read an entire series with them. They were a delightful, charismatic duo.
Unlike SOME famous mysteries, even when I was sure I knew who had done it, the why and how were not so obvious, and the clues came at just the right pace to keep me engaged. (The charming characters also helped on that front.)
Once everything was revealed, I was satisfied in the amount I had guessed and the amount that had to be explained. It was the perfect balance that made the ending just as good as the rest of story.
I can't recommend this enough.
