Thank you HarperCollins Canada for providing this eARC for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are honest and my own.
This is the latest installment of the Bingo Hall Detectives series - quite the revelation if you're expecting a standalone tale (as the book description makes it seem). Its British charm is woven into every word and dialogue, with a sprinkle of slang and acronyms that may have you reaching for a dictionary.
The conversation dances off the page, fluttering with wit and humor, yet the characters felt distant, their drama a tad theatrical. The childhood tangle between Radha and Sarah seemed slightly overplayed.
The unmasking of the culprit is a slow-burning fuse, its logic a bit hazy (a mention of their age would've been helpful - I presumed they were in their early twenties, but their maturity suggests otherwise?)
If you're a seasoned follower of the Bingo Hall Detective series, this one is sure to tickle your fancy. But alas, it was not my cup of tea.

I must start by thanking NetGalley as well as the publisher for my eARC in exchange for my honest review.
A wonderful character driven cozy mystery. The back and forth questioning throughout this who-done-it will keep you turning pages till the end.
