My spouse and I listened to this together while road tripping and it was enjoyable mostly because it was so short. The mystery and the outcome are very bland- it goes through typical mystery story beats where multiple suspects give different story pieces and multiple people are suspicious, which is fine, but the reveal was disappointing. The journey itself was also sort of bland- the characters weren’t particularly interesting and neither of us like the writing style.
If you are looking for a murder mystery that is safe- on that no one is really all that bad and the mystery is easy to follow, this could work for that. It has a hallmark feel. It and this author appear to be well liked, but when it comes to mystery, this was not our cup of cocoa (😅).
It was a fun thing to do while driving, but neither of us will be picking up another mystery by this author.
