Thank you Penguin Group Dutton and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!
I had such a fun time with this cozy small town murder mystery. The story follows Annie Adams as she tries to solve the murder of her Great Aunt Frances. Great Aunt Frances spent her life trying to prevent her own murder which leaves no shortage of suspects. The cast of characters was entertaining and I loved exploring Great Aunt Frances's backstory through her diary entries. The diary gave a duel timeline element to the story that was really enjoyable. You'd think as much as I like cozy mysteries I'd be better at solving the crimes, but I'm not. I didn't solve this one ahead of the reveal, but that never bothers me. I actually enjoy the big reveal when I'm not expecting the answer. Overall, I would recommend this to all readers who love a murder mystery full of family secrets but that doesn't include any blood or gore.
