Thank you Netgalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review!
I still think these are a little short, I would love to be shown a lot more, especially in-between and the actual detective work itself. But it's still a very cosy, very wholesome read! Quick to finish but leaves you feeling very hungry and wanting to pop to a Japanese resturant!
The characters are as varied as before, different reasons for seeking the agency and different resolutions, and the main duo while not really much development I do quite enjoy their chemistry!
And Drowsy, if this series doesn't end with them getting into the resturant I'll be upset!
I do really love how varied the food is, and especially highlighting different region's food. I can't say I know too much about all that but the bits I do know I recognise! Learning about new dishes and ingredients is so much fun!! and painful, because I know I'll never be able to eat like, any of it :')
