The cover is misguiding. The light yellow, the drawing: that’s all cozy. This story was not a cozy mystery. Far from it.

Discomforting. In most cozies the villanousness is over the top. Here it’s rather realistic. Which is not what I want from my escape literature.

Dispite the discomfort it was a good read.

One thing that annoyed me though, when discussing whether a person was likely to have committed a certain crime, all the time the phrase ‘do you think I/he would be caoable of that?’ Where capable was used in the sense of ‘has the right motivation’ or ‘lacks basic morals’. Would have been nice if more variaty of phrase was used there. Or that once in a while capable in the sense of has the right knowhow or finances was used.

3.3 stars as the author hid an important clue.
