Though I still loved the vibe of this book - it was charming, comforting, and welcoming - it isn't anywhere near as funny as the first two books, which I did miss a bit. It was less funny and had less tension throughout, and instead was more like a sustained thriller with a lot of interwoven moving parts. I did enjoy this switch up - it definitely gave this instalment a different edge - but I wasn't as enthralled by it as I was the first two.
Also, in a book series that already heavily strains the boundaries of believability, Connie's prison situation is the thing that tipped me over the edge - it's just so absurd!
And the ending didn't feel quite as satisfying as the first two books'.
Having said all of this, I did still really enjoy this book, and love how Osman always manages to trick me and warm/break my heart in equal measure.
