As the first book in the series, I am not sure I will read any additional books. This was okay, but I was not invested in the story or the lives of the characters. I like cozy mysteries, but this one was lacking in several ways … murder mystery was cheeky, the bantering among the family members was irritating, etc. I’m sure there are those out there who would appreciate the story, but for me it was not a big hit.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Paperbacks for my advanced review copy. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
