Cute and clever amateur sleuth mystery. Some of the characters are A LOT but the story and setting are interesting. #cozymystery #bookclub

This novel is a little difficult to follow with the large number of characters and jumps in time, which could be why it's less scary than it might have been. I appreciate the setting---California's Central Valley---and there's a lot of vivid imagery, but the story doesn't quite gel, at least for me. The ending is solid, though.

This was a great P&P retelling! I am shocked it‘s not more popular. The audio was great, too.

Robert Louis Stevenson, his new wife and her son were on a honeymoon trip squatting in a falling apart cabin in the hills outside of Napa. There is zero mention of his wife and son. Lol.
Lots of description of the neighbors and the landscape. Surprisingly good. 3.5⭐

Check me out, reading John Steinbeck voluntarily!!

I had to read him in high school and did not get much out of the experience, but I‘m finding Cannery Row to be delightful! I just randomly pulled it off my shelf and I‘m glad I did.
