Listen to Riley. For the love. Theodosia is so entitled.

“Didn’t we already go over this?”
“Indulge me,” Drayton said, because the author needs an awkward way to tell the reader every detail about the upcoming event even though she could *show* it a lot easier and more succinctly. Having characters converse about things (especially when you know that character wouldn’t forget the details, and it’s all for the reader’s benefit) is so cheap. Just show it!

Main reason I read these books is for the menu descriptions and the dreams of having a cutesy little tea shop.

Theodosia is insufferable - lying, withholding evidence, confronting people when the investigation is the job of the police…Riley doesn’t deserve her nonsense.
