This was a quick and fairly light read, given the murder mystery subject matter. It’s a romance book and there is a little spice in it. While this book was a pretty good read, it just wasn’t my cup of tea.

I think this is one of those moments when being able to identify a well-written Good Book vs a poorly-written book you enjoyed is important.
I knew from the beginning chapters that this wasn’t going to be ~amazing~ but I did find myself continue reading. I’ve been in a bit of slump recently so being able to let my brain go smooth and just enjoy a cheesy romance and a blegh mystery was nice and now I’m ready to read smth else!!
I will mention some pluses though. Having an outspoken female character who already has empathy for lower classes and real critiques of women’s issues (husbands taking ownership of their wife’s property) was cool! Having a male love interest who was like“i love you and also its ridiculous that i would own your newspaper so i’ll do a prenup to make you happy” was cool!
