3.5
“I really enjoyed watching the relationship between Mrs. Groyns and Twitten evolve. Seeing them actually start to work together was a highlight, and I think they complement each other’s strengths perfectly. On the other hand, Steine remains as frustrating as ever, constantly lost in his own little world.
While the mystery itself was solid and engaging, I did find the plot a bit difficult to follow at times, occasionally mixing up the different threads. Overall, it’s a fun read, even if it gets a little muddled in places!🌫️”
“Loved this book!! The storyline was great and you should definitely read the first book before starting with this book.”
