This was a really cute little mystery. More general mystery than a cozy, but it still contains loads of cozy elements.  I found the plot and setting interesting. The main character owns a sandwich shop which is catering a big party celebrating the opening of an exhibition at the local museum--the Grimoire of Morgan Le Fay. It was a fun concept and I really enjoyed it.
There is a main mystery, and then another, ongoing mystery that seems continued from the first couple of books in the series, which I haven't read. The author gets you up to speed quickly which is really nice. One thing I did have a hard time with was the large amount of characters, especially similar male characters and characters with similar names, but it wasn't too bad.

This was a solid 4 star for me. Good plot, red herrings, two mysteries, an intelligent cat that's not *too* intelligent, a curly red haired protagonist (😏) and references to Jessica Fletcher and Nancy Drew.
