My favourite of the series so far. 

I imagine that this would be a great book for someone trying to grapple with grief. The last paragraph gave me chills.

I always find myself wishing the characters in this series were a bit more fleshed out, I struggle to distinguish people at times. The character map at the beginning was really useful for this though. I think that's what would make me give this a 5.

I'm looking forward to the next one coming out!! These books are so cosy and really transport you.

This was fine but I didn't enjoy it as much as the other two books in the series so far. Mostly tragic dead woman stories about guys.

As ever the last story in the collection really brought the whole series together, and because it was about the characters who work in the cafe there was a greater emotional connection to them rather than the other tales. Enjoyable, but I prefer the earlier books in the series.
