This is my first book by this author so I’m quite excited to start reading this after hearing good things about the author’s previous books. 
 
Told from multiple POVs of Shelby, Mack and Florence – we get to see different side of how the investigation unfold. So many characters means a lot of suspects as well. 
I admit it was hard to guess the culprit so I was totally surprised when I read the big reveal. 
 
It took me a while to get hooked into the story cause there’s a lot of characters that I need to keep track of which sometimes confuse me cause I can't remember them fast enough. 
But, after I finally remember the key players it was easy to enjoy the flow of the story. 
 
The last few chapters are quite intense and it also where the last unexpected twist takes place. I was really surprised with how this book ends, I didn’t see it coming at all. 
 
Overall, it's a very good cozy small town mystery. 
This book won’t be the last time I read by this author, I’m looking forward to read more books by this author in the future.
