I didn’t read this book when it came out despite my love of the series, because it felt too soon as a post-pandemic story while we were still in the midst of a pandemic. Glad I waited beaches it was so fun to have this to catch up on the world of Three Pines just as the newest book was released! The mystery in this one felt much more plausible than what went on the preceding book, and it was nice to just get back to all of the characters living in Three Pines.
