I love this series so much! The mystery, the characters, the twists and turns… all of it! 

Dannel and Osian are the stars of the series, and I love the interplay between them. They are so supportive of one another, treat each other with such tenderness, and they are so funny. And their humor is so witty, so smart. It really makes the two of them come alive off the pages. With that, I also love the representation in this series, the own-voice representation of autism. They are everything I want in a book couple. 

And the mystery… Dahlia Donovan is great at creating a twisty. turny mystery, and this latest novel is no different. Once again, the two find themselves in the middle of a murder mystery. As the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished. The two agree to help a friend with what is thought to be nothing more than a ghostly intruder in a theater. Instead, they find so much more. But does that stop them? Of course not. As always, it makes them more determined to find the truth of what’s happening. 

As much as I love Dannel and Osian, it would be remiss to not talk about the rest of the cast. There is such a diverse cast, each one of them fully as interesting as Dannel and Osian. I love that she makes them just as real as the main characters. 

If you love cozy mysteries, this is a great one to read!
