These characters were fun and weird making for a good time reading, but a story that was just meh.
Maybe it's my preference for golden age mysteries, but pulling rabbits and scarves from hats and sleeves at the end of a book, without any hint of droppings, fur, or bright colors early on, feels cheap instead of magical. It seems unfair to call this a locked room mystery when the reader has no hope of solving it.
I really enjoyed a lot of this book, but parts of it dragged terribly. Most of the explanations were flat and extremely repetitive. I loved the setting and the premise, but ultimately it fell short.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book for free in exchange for my review! All opinions are my own.
