I love this author and was excited she had a new book. I got the audiobook from hoopla and the narrator did an excellent job with the different characters and accents. I like that the main character in this story is an aunty who recently became a widow and goes back to Toronto to help her daughter, who is accused of murder.
There were a lot of characters so it was hard to keep track of everyone, but I did appreciate the diverse cast and the inclusion of Islamic concepts. The characters were written well and I liked seeing them interact. It was interesting to try and solve the mystery as the story went along, and there were a few redirections, but in the end the turns straightened out and most of the questions were answered. I enjoy mystery novels but don’t like the inclusion of cops, so I can’t rate any of them 5 stars out of principle. Looking forward to the next book in this series.
