Enjoyed this as an easy listen. Although I did zone out a few times, whoops. I liked most of the characters, the mystery, and also enjoyed that it was set in Norfolk near where I grew up. What I didn’t like was the death of a pet (found that really upsetting), and some of the commentary on women, especially the repeated fat phobia - quite an outdated narrative. That being said, I will probably listen to more in the series!
