Such a fun read! I binged it over two evenings and really liked the seaside atmosphere. The gelato shop details were adorable, and Bianca is the kind of character you root for right away. I’ll definitely read the next book.

Not my usual style of mystery, but I found myself hooked. The writing has a nice flow, the clues fit together neatly, and the Italian backdrop gives it a unique charm. A lighter take on crime fiction, but very satisfying.
