It was slow getting started. I was about a third of the way through before it picked up and then I enjoyed it. A typical cozy mystery.

This book was just ok. Half of the story was the two main characters walking to each others cabin to change clothes and to go drink coffee. It was weird and the characters were all flat. The other Annie’s mysteries were way better.
