Review:
I read the first book in this series as part of a book club and didn’t love it, so it’s kind of on me for requesting on netgalley without realising this was type third in the series (and I haven’t read number two).
The book wasn’t awful but it wasn’t great. I struggled with the characters, as I did in the first book and it felt like a lot of filler.
I wasn’t impressed with who the embalmer was and the constant references to her other two books just left me annoyed.
If you liked the first two books then you’ll like this one, if you weren’t keen, I’d steer clear…
I’ve given it a 2/5.
