This book is most definitely my favourite out of the three. It's a lighthearted detective novel with family fights and queer romance. 

Sometimes I felt like the characters were too aware of themselves in the way they spoke about themselves. This isn't something bad per se but I don't always enjoy it.

The whole story came together pretty well starting from chapter 20. The last four chapters were so fun and so enjoyable especially the last chapter Will and Kim flirting. Truly a perfect ending to the series. 

I had so much fun reading the series, it's lighthearted and it's easy to follow. I don't kine that it zws very predictable sometimes, like it did not take away from the fun. It also made realise I love queer pulp fiction mystery/ detective novels.
