This quirky little book falls somewhere between a Miss Marple mystery and Only Murders in the Building. It took me a little bit to keep track of the characters, but once I did, I really took to them. They all have different excentricities, but they create a loving and protective community of misfits. The found family vibes are vibing for sure! I also found the plot line a little wonky. It bounces a little, and some of it just wasn't believable, but all in all, it had great humor and kept me entertained. Would definitely recommend this if you're into OMITB!
Thanks to Net Galley and St. Martin's Press for this advanced reader copy to review.
