Another great installment in the series. Daisy tries to stay out of this murder mystery as hard as she can, but of course she's not entirely successful at that. This is, after all, a cozy mystery and Daisy is the lead. But she does try and a lot of the page time is devoted to her becoming a grandmother and exploring where she and Jonas want to take their dating relationship.
The mystery definitely kept me guessing and I appreciated the strong message about responding to post-partum depression. I also really love that this series continues to be clean with no descriptions of violence, sex, or any bad words. Can't wait for the next in the series to come out!
