I listened to this one on audio and really liked it a lot. There are some funny cooking experiences that I just could relate to even though I don't cook like that but it was just so fun.
I read this one a few weeks ago. I thought it was slow too and the tension not as good as in another victorian series I started. Still it was a good quick read.

Lots of quirky characters in this that reminded me of Stephanie Plum but more sane!
I was surprised how much I liked this quick read. It was cute and short and packed with real people and their issues.
I agree this one pulled me into their lives and though it was long I really liked it.

I have to say I didn't care for this one. Not enough about the murderer.
