This is the second time in a week where I liked the second cozy mystery in the series better than the first!

I laughed out loud several times, the strength of female friendships really shone through (both with Vero and Finlay but also Amy and Theresa), and the love triangle was perfectly executed (could have used way more details tho). And there were far fewer moments where I thought “absolutely no one is going to think that, quit acting so erratically and paranoid,” which often happened with the first.

Let’s be clear, you must definitely be able to suspend your disbelief FREQUENTLY but that’s fine, I am very adept at that.

I did NOT see the surprise reveal coming at the end, I thought it was going to be left hanging for the third book to cover but nope, surprise!!!!

I wish we had gotten to learn more about Vero’s story since it was heavily alluded to.

I again read this one super quickly, I was so excited to get back into the plot, it was very amusing. I need to find more cozy mysteries like this!!!!
