I would do anything to read Ellis' book

If anyone takes anything away from this book, it should be that medication and therapy is a better solution to your problems than murder

Honestly, I didn't like any of the characters in the book, I think they are all great examples of what not to be. tbh Ellis and Felicity were almost as bad as each other, like, why is murder the only solution to all of your problems?

I wasn’t expecting a political murder mystery but I’m here for it!
Pacing was a little slow for me to get really into the story but I loved the depth of the characters and their relationship.
You could definitely read this book as a standalone

This book healed some of my fractured heart caused by the final episode of BBC Merlin. I like to pretend this is Merlin and Arthur reincarnated in the future

I enjoyed this book, it's perfect for anyone looking for a cosy spring/summer mystery!
I felt like there were two conflicting plots in this book, the murder investigation and Elliana's 'scent abilities'. 
Ellianas' ability to smell things really well and pick up on scents didn't contribute to the mystery at all.  I thought it would have been better to work that plot into the mystery like 'ooo, I smelt this at the crime scene' or something less cliche than that, otherwise having that element just drags the plot along. It was also borderline magical realism and I think fully leaning into making her abilities have an element of magic would have added a lot more relevance to this plotline.
