Not my cup of cappuccino
Such a thin story. Would not recommend it. No build-up to who the killer is.

the rushed ending lost all the stars
I make lots of allowances for this type of light, sugary. coffee-shop murder mystery, and it was doing very well until the end. When all the questions are answered in the last 10 minutes by explanation rather than by action or conversation, you cannot get better than an "okay" rating. The who and why were sudden reveals that had no lead-in so the end was rather disappointing. Otherwise the characters were realistic and full, and the narration was good.

Sweet and Cosy
I enjoyed this cosy mystery- the narration was lively and interesting, and the characters were relatable. The story kept my interest to the end. I’ve deducted a star because of when the murder is introduced- trying not to give spoilers here!

Dreadful, depressing and boring.
Not cosy at all. Two hours in and, apart from finding a corpse, NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. She just talks over and over about how sad she is about her mother having died, and commiserating with the son of the victim about losing a parent. Over and over.
It took, and I'm not kidding here, 1h and 45 m for them even to REALISE it was a murder.
