This was cute, but lacked any real oomph. The mystery was the best part, but still managed to feel really silly and the barely-there romance lacked chemistry. Good for a lighthearted romp, especially if you like Only Murders in the Building or Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club series. Perhaps I went in with too serious of expectations. Probably great if you love cozy mysteries!

Thank you so much to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review

it was okay. more of a slow solve which isn’t quite what I prefer. wish there had been a bigger twist. I had it figured out too early on for my preference. not bad, but not my favorite. didn’t quite meet my expectations.
