Probably a little spoilery but I don't know how to talk about it without any:
Fun premise, but ultimately if it wanted to be a cozy mystery i think it needed to say that with its whole chest -- c'mon, just commit to the sabotage plot being the main mystery. every mystery doesn't have to be a murder. It didn't frustrate me that the killer was obvious in and of itself -- it frustrated me that the killer was obvious, then the author hits you with a 'gotcha! the obvious answer was Wrong!' only to immediately do another 'gotcha! when i told you you were wrong last chapter i was lying! It WAS the obvious answer! #girlboss'. It did make me start watching GBBS again though.
