#CurrentlyListening to the fourth #IsabelDalhousie mystery — though really, there‘s no mystery. Good characters, though.

Another good Isabel Dalhousie novel! Number four in this series, and at this point you feel like you‘re just getting a view into Isabel‘s life, with less plot-driven and more character driven purpose. It‘s also interesting that nothing character-driven was really resolved in this book, just processed. Looking forward to the next installment!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mehso-so

Don't get me wrong, I like this series and I will continue reading it. It just feels a little like the same old same old with a baby thrown in. The mystery this time was actually mysterious, even though the mystery is never the focus in this series.

I was listening to this today while sightseeing in Puebla, Mexico. No, I am not this unsocial but on a solo biz trip.

Not usually a fan of cozy mysteries but this series is a favourite when I want a #laidbackbook

This is what I picture when I'm reading them.
