I really enjoyed this book. It has all the elements of a ‘cozy’ mystery; a casual, modern writing style, a focus on personal relationships, and many lighthearted, humorous moments. Although there is a murder, the main mystery focuses on family secrets. However, this does not make the book dull at all. There is a thread of suspense throughout, as it is indicated early on that there are dangerous forces at play. Although some plot points were fairly predictable, due to numerous context clues, there were also several moments that took me by surprise.

I did notice a few errors that I want to comment on. There were two chapters titled as “chapter 11”, and there is also a moment towards the end where Shiloh drops a flashlight, but inexplicably has it again a few scenes later. The author may have meant that Shiloh dropped the light to her side, rather than pointing it straight ahead, but the wording is vague, and I took it to mean she dropped it on the ground, in which case, it doesn’t make sense for her to have it a few paragraphs later. This discrepancy took me out of the story, and it unfortunately happens during a moment of extreme tension. Other than those minor errors, I think this was a very enjoyable read, and I’d happily read more from the same author.
