Status Updates From High Tea and Misdemeanors (...

Well, that didn’t take much guessing. I took a long break from this book, forgot most of the plot, and still figured out for sure whodunit because of the Vampyre Ballet. It’s always the one you know like nothing about because Childs never bothers to give actual clues or properly develop characters.

Possible spoiler:

“She was still feeling down and a little manipulated. As if the buzz clue had been intended to send her scurrying off on a thankless errand.”

Huh, almost like you took the word “buzz,” and ran with its most obscure relation. Could be a B&B, could be an apiary, could be…a sawmill because “buzz saw?” Whatever. I also hate the trope of killers calling in to leave clues. So dumb.

Trying to finish this book because I’m not sure I want to pick up any more of her books for at least a little while.
