I really enjoyed Bob's voice coming through, but wouldn't say the plot overly grabbed me.

Not something I'd usually read. A fun mystery with classic Bob Mortimer humour thrown in. I enjoyed it, but not enough to give it more than 3 stars

It was oke, mediocre at best. The story line was not appealing to me at all. Honestly it was kinda boring. Around 80% it got a bit interesting when Emily and Gary met up again and Emily moved in. But after that it got weird. 

I didn’t like gary, he was a weird little man without any personality. 
I did like the pov’s of Emily, they where more compelling. Maybe because I can identity more with a female perspective. Would have loved more of those chapters

The writing style wasn’t my cup of tea. It all felt very normal
