Fun read. Fun mystery where pretty much everyone could have been the murdered. I really like Jules as a character.

I picked this book up as part of a read-a-thon I'm doing in honor of my late sister Tracy. I found this book on her Goodreads shelves. I actually read the first book in this series a few months ago as part of a different reading challenge (prompt: read a book that takes place in your hometown). I enjoyed this one more than the last one, I felt like the focus was more on the mystery than it was on the setting, while the first one focused too much on the town itself. 

Anyway, there were some clues, and I did figure it out before the end, but that didn't make it any less enjoyable. A solid, cozy mystery, if you're into that, I definitely recommend this book.
