I loved visiting Hattie again even if we didn't see her store that often. She did have good reasons to be out and about though because she was catering part of the events at the model railroad convention and then she was trying to convince them to come try her stuff again because we all know she didn't do it. So that could bother some, but it most of it felt like business trips.
I love learning about the model railroad community. We get a bit of history, a bit of cryptids, and a bit of crafting. While I am not very crafty, I did enjoy reading about people who are.
There were lots of suspects and still the ending surprised me. There were clues along the way and I even picked up some of the clues, but I didn't trace the clues back to the murderer. So it was just the right level of mystery for me.
The romance between Hattie and Marlon progressed nicely. I like a slow burn romance, so this was perfect for me.
Read this if you like a mystery with lots of suspects and some fun crafty elements.
