Fatality at the Festival by Beth Dolgner is a very short read that was primarily info dumping and over-explaining. I understand that as an 8th installment in a series that there is backstory to be understood. But that information should be delivered more naturally rather than bringing an already tedious narrative to a standstill every few seconds to recap. The way that the motivations and feelings were overly detailed also made the story drag. A character would say or do something, which was followed by detailed explanations of why and how they were feeling. Then the next character would say or do something, again followed by detailed descriptions of their motivation. For an adult work, there was far too much handholding for the reader. 

Thank you to NetGalley for the audio ARC in exchange for an honest review.
