I adore this series, and this book hit a little different. It had everything I love and expect from this band of pensioners solving crimes- wit, ridiculousness, and yet a sense of familiarity that makes the whole thing seem not quite so ridiculous. But there was also more depth and emotion in the subplots than we’ve seen in other books, and you could tell Osman was writing from some personal experiences. For me, the perfect cozy, clever mystery!
