A fairy tale reimagined! This book is full of cliches and easy to guess twists. But that does not take away from its charm! It is easy to enjoy and fun to read. Make sure you read the other books in the series first!

The first chapter or two were hard to get into and the cast of characters is large and tricky to keep track of at the beginning. But Inspector Garmande wins you over! It felt the same as a cozy mystery show, just in book format.
