Well, it wasn't quite the crowning glory I hoped for. I love some cozy crime, but this one left me feeling more "meh" than mystery.

Let’s talk about Nell Ward—our leading lady, who should’ve been the Sherlock Holmes in a lab coat! Instead, she felt more like she wandered in from a "How to Be Boring" convention. And trust me, I'm all for smart, strong female leads, especially those who can mix a chemical cocktail in a jiffy, but Nell just didn’t quite resonate with me, something was just missing.

Now, about that love triangle... or should I say love Bermuda Triangle, because all my interest got lost in it. I was here for mystery, not an episode of The Bachelor: Murder Edition. It’s like those romance shenanigans took over the main plot and dunked the actual mystery under the covers—maybe it’ll come up for air in the sequel?

But I’ll be honest, I’m in no rush to read the next instalment of the series
