I enjoyed the mystery, the politics and main character. The romance wasnt needed,but it wasnt too intrusive. The main issue is the story and the why feels kind of rushed at the end.

So good! Like a kdrama in book form. Loved the setting and the twists and turns of the plot. I feel like a learned a lot as well. And the main characters were interesting and their motivations made sense. Great read.

A fastest read that complimented all the Kdramas I’ve dabbled in. A relatively easy flowing murder mystery with a cute couple as the main protagonists.
