This book aside from having an amazingly cozy cast of characters and intriguing mystery has such an incredibly wholesome portrayal of loss and coming to terms with grief. There were moments where the author really tugged at my heart strings and that to me is the sign of a really good book. Pick this one up for the quirky characters and cozy murder mystery but stay for the wholesome found family vibes
