Can I tell you how much I loved Gertie??? I thought she was going to be one of those annoyingly plucky girl Friday types, but she ended up being a slightly bitey bulldog and I was so here for it.

This is a blast of a mystery full of some of the most annoying characters you never want to meet in real life. I was wishing for the downfall of almost everyone and I loved to read them.

There's definitely some humor here, along with a lot of feels.

I still have no idea what the title refers to, lol, but I want more from the author!

I really enjoyed this. It is like a modern Agatha Christie, with a sense of locked room mystery about it. The main character is the perfect amateur sleuth and has an intriguing back story, while the potential perpetrators all have something to hide. The author includes a delicious final twist which adds to the satisfaction of seeing what becomes of a miserable rich man’s lifetime achievement.
