I'm hearing this book placed into the "cozy mystery" genre quite a lot but if cozy mystery and rom coms had a baby, it could create a category for this book. Comedy Mystery? Mystery Comedy? I don't know what to call it, but I liked it. Things just kept escalating, like a comedy of errors. I didn't always agree with some of the choices but this is fiction here! And I have to say, the audiobook was fantastic! I think Vero was my favorite character, and I'm looking forward to seeing where things go ...more

An entertaining but not too spooky murder mystery with an easy to root for protagonist. This one kept me interested the whole time. There were parts that seemed really silly and juvenile but considering Elle has only written YA until this book, that’s not surprising. The murder mystery lost me at some points—but maybe I’m just dumb? 😂 Obviously it was all clear by the end though. Other parts I had figured out way before Finlay figured them out, even though they were spelled out quite obviously t ...more

OMG! This has been the first 5 star book I have picked up in a while and the first one of this year I believe! Oh I loved it and almost read it in a single sitting! Yes! It's that great and I am so anticipating the next book of the series!

So fun and unique! I understand the Stephanie Plum comparisons, but Finlay is a lot more than that (and about half as bumbling). I look forward to reading the next book in the series when it is released - especially after reading the epilog of this one.

A fun comedy of errors story with plenty of heart and an intriguing pull for a second book

4.25 stars- This book was just soo fun and funny, it wasn't super predictable like some of this type are. I didn't know who the killer was or what would happen, mostly. It was also hilarious and I was rooting for Finlay the whole time, and I hated her ex for most of it with a fiery passion! This book also just had me caring about the characters and what would happen, which is always a hallmark of a good book. I wouldn't say it was a masterpiece, but it was good! ...more
