a twee and cozy premise, with a story that flatlines from beginning to end. the mystery is pathetically easy to solve, the fmc is flat flat flat. stereotypes abound in this story, and not in a quirked-up, fun, neo-archetypal way. idk... i wasn't expecting much and i'm Still displeased lol. this is giving "i wrote a mid murder mystery, so let me turn them all into animals to make it more interesting!" i should've Known better from the author's note (explaining that this is ~fiction~ and who cares if prey and predators are hanging out?) that i was Not going to be pleased lol. lenore rules and is the best part of this lil story.
