A Grim Reaper's Guide to Catching a Killer by Maxie Dara

4.5

Oh Kathy.  You had my heart almost instantly; you caring and self-doubting and relatable characters. I love seeing into Kathy's mind why she does the things she does because her parents told her she ruined everything (because WTF) and how she is an intense doubter and overthinking as I am.  And yet she is one of the most caring and loving sleuths.  I LOVE the set-up of this book; the SCYTHE entity is so intriguing and set up such a unique story.

 This book has such interesting characters, so many suspicious ones and a few absolute cinnamon rolls! I loved seeing Kathy doubt her mothering abilities while we can ALL SEE how maternal and amazing she is.  This book had my mind on a serious wild goose chase because I could not figure it out, until just before Kathy does. This book is cozy but also edgy and I love how those two factors worked together. I hope there will be more!!

Note: I listened to the audiobook and really enjoyed the narrations!

Thanks to the publisher for a free copy; my review and thoughts were my own.
