A cozy southern mystery that was just…okay tbh. This book suffered from a severe lack of setting. It was so deeply isolated to the location of the bookstore-i had no picture of what this town actually looked like! Our protagonist never really left the building or had a life for us to engage with outside of solving this murder! Also she just annoyed the crap out of me with the nonsense with philomena . I didn’t need a 3rd act friend breakup with the best character in the book in a cozy mystery.
