At this point I think this series is going to be one I turn to for a good cozy time or a pallet cleanser when I am in a funk or need to recover from a heavy read. The mysteries are intriguing enough to keep you guessing without being too heavy or serious, and Finlay is charming enough that you laugh multiple times at the uncanny situations she gets her and Vero in. My only nitpick of this installment was that the romance heavy plot was not my favorite part, I can't really explain why, but I think I prefer the other love interest version than the one we focused on in this book. However, that is minor in the grand scheme of things, and what I love the most in these books is the relationship between Finlay and Vero and them being a team. Which means I am excited we got to expand a bit more on Vero's backstory, and it looks like book four is going to be a big focus on her. Still having a fun time when I pick these up so I don't anticipate it stopping anytime soon.
