I received this book for free from Berkley Prime Crime in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I knew who the baby was going to end up with, as well as who's baby she was. It wasn't anything necessarily super obvious about the mother, it was more of an "I bet the mom is x-character..." And it was really funny how all the baby things kept popping up in strange places.
There were a lot of different people who could have been the murderer. Usually when there are so many suspects, it feels either overwhelming or a bit annoying. But Mr. Potter was such a jerk it actually felt super realistic to have that many people hate him. I didn't guess at all who the killer was, I had a few other people in my possibilities, but it worked well.
I love how well done the personalities are in this series. The characters are always fleshed out enough to feel real, without being too descriptive or boring.
Like the last book, I still don't care for Mac as a boyfriend for Shannon. He was gone for most of the book, which helped make me like the book better since he wasn't around to irk me. And the reason he was gone turned out to be fairly stupid in a way. Mostly because it would have been easy to fix if he had bothered to check into it.
Other than Mac, there wasn't a single thing that I didn't like about the book. If you like cozy mysteries with well-written characters that are easy to remember, and quirky side mysteries, you need to try this series.
