I enjoyed the family storylines a bit more than the mystery. The technical parts of the mystery made the book drag in places. The main character’s snark and learning more about the family members individually and as a unit kept the book alive. I’d rather this turn into a series about the siblings and mom more than a mystery series. Either way, I enjoyed this.
