Miranda is the worst, but she is slowly become less bad. And I enjoyed the whole process! The murder happens a little later than in most cozy mysteries, but there we are still getting to know the community well. So by the time there is a murder, the investigation feels like a natural outgrowth. The suspicions and clearing of suspects came along quickly, as Miranda was also putting together the things she observed before. This felt like a fun spin on a typical cozy mystery and a great first of the series.
