3.0

A fun cozy mystery, set in an eclectic southern bookstore, with the capacity to keep me flipping pages so I could have the mystery resolved. The setting added to the mystery of it all.

I would like to see the characters developed a bit more, as they came across as flat and one-dimensional. Uncertain if I will follow the series further.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing a complimentary eARC in exchange for my honest thoughts.
