This book was so funny! I expected a cosy mystery with a couple of laughs from the cover and the blurb, but I got so much more bang for my buck than that!
The characters were such... characters! Each could not be mistaken for each other. My favourite being the ever masculine, living corpse that was Mil! They each had their own tragic/full back stories and flaws and quirks but they complemented each other magnificently.
I can see myself in parts of Juno and Phoebe, and their growth in the book was lovely to see.
I found that Phoebe's back story was quite slow to come out and I found in most of the book I was thinking that she despised her cheating, money losing husband. That was not the case and I must have read those comments differently to intended.
The full backstory of Juno is yet to come out but I appreciate the effort and sheer research that must have gone into her song list and musical knowledge.
All in all, a first read of Fiona Walker but it definitely won't be my last!
Thank you to Netgalley, Fiona Walker and Boldwood Books for gifting me a copy of this ebook to read. This review and all of it's opinions are my own.
