This book was very much fun. I thoroughly enjoyed the mystery and was very chuffed with myself for figuring out the twist and the culprit way way in advance.
The story building and mystery set up was amply intriguing except I felt like the greater cast of characters paled in comparison to the two romantic leads. That's well and good considering this is a romance first and a mystery second, but the lack of detail on the secondary cast left me unable to create a madcap red string conspiracy board for the book which is always a hallmark of a top tier mystery.
I appreciated the class and wealth disparity conversation, surface level as it was.
Overall fun book and I'm looking forward to reading the following books!
