This was fun!
An Agatha Christie-esque, cozy mystery with a compelling lead and a hint of a slow-burn romance? That's usually my jam. Unfortunately, I don't think my mind was totally in it, or maybe I just wasn't in the mood for mysteries when I read this, so yeah... I admit, I ended skimming a lot of the lengthier descriptions too.
Apart from that, all in all, I did like this.
I really like Bertie as a protagonist: I like his dry humour, how laid-back he is; and I really like the chemistry between him and Hugh. The mystery was well-built, although I preferred the one in book one, but the cast of side characters (and suspects!) was pretty compelling. I'm looking forward to see what will happen next! Hopefully we'll finally get the much-awaited blossoming of romance between the two leads.

Thanks to Netgalley for the arc. This is my honest review.
