I was looking for a story to get me into the fall mood and this was well liked by many so I gave it a try. It was an okay read for me though. I don’t get what made this so well liked except for the social media push.
It definitely had fall vibes and a small town cozy mystery. I didn’t really connect with any of the characters although they were good people. Unfortunately there was a whole lot of use of blushing, scarlet and red faces. It became ridiculous. And every time I found one, I was taken out of the story.
