I'm going to preface all of this with the fact that murder mysteries are not my usual genre. This book had been recommended to me by a friend as "similar to Hitchhikers Guide." While the written wit does start similarly, I found myself struggling to feel absorbed into this world and invested in the characters.
It reads like "a series of events." The events were neither dramatic, joyous, or interesting in any manner to me.

I actually put this book down at the end of a chapter where the character is yet again hurtling to his death, because I just feel like nothing was of consequence anymore in that book.

Going to start reading this one while I fight the children for Murder Your Employer at my local library. Can't wait for the kids to go back to school so the hold times decrease again. But so happy the children are reading.

I have been betrayed. The friend that I was doing a read-along with just went on a binge and finished the whole book in 2 days while they were on vacation...
And I'm stuck busy with work only managing a few chapters a day and struggling to keep up with the cast of characters; as Muir is up to her usual character shenanigans. Great read so far though. In love with all the characters as per usual.
