This series is just not for me. It is too slow paced. And I don’t care for conversations where all the speaking is interrupted by descriptions of what everyone is doing while talking. It breaks up the speed of the conversation, creating pauses where there probably are none.

The plot of the murder is typical cozy: unlikeable person gets killed by something that was in his drink. A few people have been seen fixing drinks or walking around with drinks not for themselves. There’s the list of suspects. A few other people are thrown in for suspicious behaviour or for not having an alibi.

As readers we can easily discount half these people, because they are friends and family. For the same reason, it’s easy for us to pinpoint the mastermind.

In all, not a very exciting read.

I read an ARC through Netgalley.
