I’m grading these books generously because I listen to them while I fall asleep at night and they are perfect for that. The characters are likable; the murders aren’t gruesome enough to give nightmares; if you fall asleep it’s easy to rewind to a spot you remember. I love them for being cozy and cute.

The only thing I don’t like is the feeling that there must be very few eligible women in town for every single man to be desperately in love with the main character. Very MarySue-ish there.
