Having recently finished the first collection of short stories, it was fun to pick up this new collection. The cases are varied with no one like the other. This made for an entertaining read. A few were straightforward and easy to solve, and others were more “twisty” in the solution.
The very first case was my favorite because although I am bad at them, I do enjoy a good puzzle to solve!
My biggest complaint for the previous book was that the narrator felt off, being told by Hester.
