I guess it's probably manslaughter not murder.

This wasn't quite as fun as the first book, but it was still light-hearted, funny, suspenseful, and all-around enjoyable as a rompy book. I'm definitely looking forward to the Netflix adaptations, I feel like these are so well-suited to a movie format.

This one could never be as surprising as the first one, but it was still fun and funny and outrageous. I didn't love the context for the shenanigans because I wanted that to be nice for Meddy and I think that also took away from it a bit for me. This is just pure escapism, though, and the aunties are still great!

The CHAOS continues. 
Slightly underwhelmed, book 1 was exciting but book 2 did not grip me. 
There was no murder involved, which was disappointing.
