Ukulele of Death

3.5 rounded up.
I know this book doesn't take itself too seriously and is meant to be funny but the humor didn't land with me if you vibe with the humor in this book your mileage will vary greatly from mine. There was constant talk/jokes about how tall Fran is and it got to a point where it was eyeroll inducing for me.
The main character Fran and Ken aren't fully human but they're not robot either and they need to charge at intervals that seem rather arbitrary, I didn't really get how that whole thing worked, I don't think it mattered much in the grand scheme of things but it made for a convenient excuse for them to be slightly over-powered. I could tell that Ken was supposed to be something of a himbo and while I normally like a himbo in this case it just felt like Fran wasn't giving him the credit he deserved while feeling better about her own intelligence and performances than she should (maybe that was part of the humor that didn't land for me too).
This book really reads like the first in a series in the sense that there was a lot of work put in setting up the characters and the story was not very impactful, that being said the whodunit part wasn't bad it didn't drag its feet so it made for a quick read.
I received an eARC of this book from Severn House through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
