Tully expertly balances humor, intrigue, and character growth, making this a delightful read for fans of The Thursday Murder Club and Only Murders in the Building. With its engaging mystery and endearing protagonists, this book is a must-read for cozy mystery lovers.

I downloaded this book hoping for a fine read and got a thoroughly enjoyable one! I look forward to many more books featuring Olivia and Aubrey. Olivia's inability to prevent her imagination from running away from her made this a delightful book. Good luck to her and the boyfriend though...

The title caught my attention, but the intriguing mystery kept me reading.

The dynamic between the two main characters was very interesting - Mentor/Protege, Good cop/Bad cop, Boomer/Gen Z.

The engrossing mystery of whether a wealthy woman committed suicide or was murdered had several plausible suspects, lots of red herrings, and intriguing motives.
This family has secrets and the world’s greatest detective and her just okay assistant will get to the bottom of it all.

Very entertaining mystery with great series potential.

Thank you NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This mystery is pure fun, packed with sharp wit, clever twists, and a detective duo that absolutely shines. Their dynamic crackles with tension and reluctant admiration, making every moment between them a delight. The case itself is tangled with secrets, family drama, and enough intrigue to keep you hooked. Smart, funny, and impossible to put down, this is exactly the kind of mystery that keeps you coming back for more.
