5.0

Excellent mystery book! The writing was very clever and engaging, and the cast of characters was rich and dimensional. At its core, this book is a cozy mystery, but more than that, it's a book about people and life. It goes beyond the typical cozy mystery by making characters that are often flat and tropes in other mystery series into people with pasts, loves, lives, and souls. Genuinely, great book. I've ordered the rest of the series, so I'm looking forward to more shenanigans from the Thursday Mystery Club.
