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.

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.
