Seldom do I veer out of my romance rut, but a reading challenge prompt and an interest in the blurb for this book had me keen to give it a read. I thought I would be mentally speculating more, instead I found myself following along with the characters as they evaluate the evidence. I’ve literally raved about this book to my whole extended family who are Mystery fanatics. 
 
I adored the easy LGBTQ+ representation. I think everyone will find a character they can relate to at some point. It was wonderful. 

The narration was fantastic.

- 0.5 of a star for not enough kissing...
