Unnecessarily convoluted. I generally really enjoy cozy mysteries but there were so many moments in this one that felt tacked on (sex scenes), extraneous (colds/flu/vomit scenes), or just excruciating (middle aged couple cooing cutesy pet names at one another).

Finished it (it was a grudge match) as part of the bookish nerds t'giving challenge.

This was a convoluted mystery, but it tied together a lot of things from past stories and held together pretty well. You just had to pay a lot of attention!
