Jess and Kat have just opened their Instagram worthy BnB, with a promising opening weekend of events bringing in a local musician and Jess’s ex. The only thing they hadn’t planned on was a murder. It’s up to Jess to help absolve her ex and save her opening weekend from disaster.
The blurb for this book describes it as Schitts creek meets Only Murders in the Building and I would say that’s pretty accurate. It’s the lightheartedness and small town vibes of schitts creek and the cozy mystery of Only Murders. Although the mystery wasn’t super complex there was enough red herrings and interesting characters to keep me guessing. I also read the whole book in one sitting so I was definitely intrigued. The vibes were cozy and there were so many fun pop culture references that I really enjoyed. Overall this is a nice, light mystery. It’s pretty fast paced and an easy read so definitely one to pick up.
