This cozy mystery mixed with a little romance broke my streak of hating that genre mashup! I couldn't stop reading about this heiress with a murdered grandmother who lost access to her riches and hotel-home. The pacing was quick but carefully plotted, and the romance added a sweet and believable angle without ruining the feel of the mystery. This title was described as Cher from Clueless meets Only Murders In the Building, and I think that description is spot-on. Pomona is loveable, not just in spite of but because of her quirks, and her character growth is endearing to watch. Would definitely enjoy more titles from this author - she also writes rom-coms under "Amanda Elliot", and some of those books are definitely on my TBR!
