Vera was a great protagonist, her and her newfound family's fumbling was humorous but the book still had serious undertones. It was a good mix of lighthearted & emotional. I laughed and I cried.
I didn't guess the murderer until Vera figured it out, the author did a good job of disguising them with misdirection.
My biggest complaint was that the book was a bit longer than I thought it needed. I can't wait for their next adventure!
Narrator Rating: 4.75 stars
The narrator did an amazing job, I wish they'd done a full cast for this since it was told from many points of view.

The instances of child abuse were emotional abuse of a toddler. Nothing physically or sexually abusive towards a child is mentioned.kirtreads's review against another edition

I loved all the characters, I loved their growth and how they all came together, and I loved how genuine it all felt. This book deals with big themes like grief, loss, loneliness, isolation, losing yourself but all the while you feel joy, hope and happiness for all the characters.
Was it predictable? Yes. Did you know what was going to happen almost the entire time? Yes. But I loved it.
