It felt as though this book was an attempt to stall larger plot points and often referenced prior discoveries in previous books as a way of avoiding sharing new information. All the pieces were there, but it just didn’t come together. It did however set up the next book to have interesting reveals, so I’ll be reading for those.

I thought the idea of having Mrs. Norton utilize disguises to regain her vouchers was a great start. Especially since Beatrice and Damien no longer use costumes in their investigations. The mysteries continue to be more complex, which also seems related to their marriage. The list of suspects they can visit together increases, so the complexity of the murder can as well. I expected to lose interest the farther along I progressed in the series, but I am enjoying it more as characters continue to evolve.

I really enjoyed the overlapping moments of this story. <spoiler>The fact that they only live a few blocks apart and frequent the same restaurants and cafes creates such a cute tie between the characters.</spoiler> I also liked the way each of the characters is introduced smoothly and thoughtfully aka Aiden on the telephone with Maya and Grayson kicking through the back door. I’m hopeful Jackson’s story will be next.

Viola and Jesse crossed paths years earlier at an interview. Now their paths align again to co-create a video game as lead designers, but first they have to show they can get along. <spoiler>A whirlwind romance after discovering they’ve both been pining for the other for years. The reveal that he asked her out the first time they met was adorable. Everything else felt rushed, but it seems like that’s the result of the condensed story versus there not being more to say. </spoiler>
