Really enjoyed this book, very quick fun read, found myself caring about Blanche more than I expected for such a short book. My first Blanche book I read and can definitely see myself checking out the other books or reread this one, to see what clues I missed in the beginning

I really enjoyed this! It's got a lot of the great parts about mysteries while also turning so many tropes and conventions on their heads. Blanche is a great protagonist and I hope to read more of this series at some point.
