This was a great cozy mystery. The way the protagonist opened up & bonded with her cousin was just too sweet and cute. I don't think the mystery unraveled in a very engaing way, but I didn't mind that all that much because all THE FOOD DESCRIPTION 🤤
The only reason this book didn't get a higher rating from me was because of the neutral or positive-leaning representation of the law enforcement. I get that It is inevitable to include them in a murder mystery, but still! I love me a good mystery and would really appreciate to read something one day that involves something that is like, say, a grassroot effort to find missing people or provide emotional support to relatives of the deceased, etc, instead of something that normalizes cops further. We already have enough of that, tysm.
