That ending was so abrupt that, had I not been 8 books deep into this series I wouldn't want to read the rest.

The first of these books that I’ve disliked. The murder came entirely out of nowhere, almost as a last minute decision upon the author remembering this is supposed to be a mystery series and not an episode of long-lost family. To much time is being spent on Poppy finding her family, especially without furthering the search at all during this book, and the ending came abruptly without even unmasking the killer! A shame that this is book 8 of 9. The last has some serious loose ends to tie up.

This is tiresomely dragging out the mystery regarding her parents.
Then this had the au-damn-dacity to end on a cliffhanger without solving the crime🙄

This book was certainly weirder than the others and I got that it’s the set up before the last book but the structure still felt wonky. The cliffhanger was unusual and this whole book felt kind of like a race to nothing and it’s like you’re still not sure what happened. I think it would’ve been better if the next book had been combined or this book and had more plot and conclusion. Overall sucked in and curious to see what happens next.
