Not the most memorable mystery but you won't be disappointed either. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book.

Pretty entertaining which reminded me of some Christie whodonits. This also had a good ending. Thanks for the free review copy!!

Unfortunately this book just wasn't for me. While I enjoy a cozy whodunnit, for me, the success of a cozy is dependent on my connection to the characters, and in this case, I had a really hard time connecting to Scarlet or any of the Rosewood family members. It was difficult for me to believe that Scarlet could be smart enough to play detective, but so completely naïve when it came to her relationships. There was a lot left to be desired for the resolution of this book, which left me feeling unfulfilled, including a less than clever protagonist and a disconnect from the crime (because of the POV) and victim, which often gives valuable insight into the crime.

That being said, there were a lot of beats that reminded me of The Maid by Nita Prose, which I also didn't enjoy, but many people adored it, The Soloist may be the book for you.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advanced read copy.

A Killer Lurks…
A killer lurks in this entertaining and enjoyable murder mystery and the second of the Twist in the Tale novels. The Rosewood family are, indeed, seemingly perfect so who is the killer and what on earth is the motive? With DI Ronnie Twist investigating but portrayed from those under investigation, the reader is given a unique and compelling angle on the crime. A whodunnit in traditional vein and every bit as good as the first (The Botanist).
