This book was right up my alley. A cozy, murder mystery at a crime themed literary festival that reads like a locked room mystery, even though it isn't. There was a fun setting, loveable characters and of course murder. The plot was slow paced and dragged at some parts. However, the quirky characters, humor and friendships made up for it. The actual murder mystery was decent and kept me guessing. Overall it was a 3.75 ⭐ read and would recommend it to any cozy murder mystery fan!
