I liked how it deals with the history of sweet but also with issues related to sugar consumption (I'm diabetic and appreciated it).
It's well researched, well written and informative.

I think it's quite interesting but I didn't like the style of writing and I struggled.
Not my cup of tea.

This is an entertaining story but also a good description of Cold War era.
It's not the best Appleby and the mystery was a bit underdeveloped but it was highly entertaining because Innes developed some quirky and interesting characters that I loved.
Plenty of humor and ducks, a couple of twins, Judith Appleby investigating.
I found it engrossing and had a lot of fun, recommended.

Even if I'm not a fan of Mafia as a trope (being born in Italy it makes you think of a lot of unpleasant events and situations) I like this series and really liked this book.
Mia is an interesting character, a clever woman who tries to build a life on the right side of the law. I was happy to catch up with her and the other well written characters.
The plot is well developed and I found it engrossing and entertaining. The mystery kept me guessing.
Can't wait to read the next installment, highly recommended.
