Rating: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
In what appears to be a minority opinion, this book was a non-starter for me. Having read the first in the series, I “forgave” some of the plot holes and issues because it is hard to world-build and mystery-solve all in one novel. However, this second swing at a mystery for Josie the Magical Librarian fell short. The plot was only so-so, the mystery was solvable within a few chapters and there wasn't any major character growth or resolution to the great will-they-won't-they “attraction” between Josie and Sam. Add in multiple instances of passive fatphobia and culturally insensitive references to tribal curses including referring to Indigenous American as “Indians” (a subplot that fizzles anyway) means that this series is pretty much done for me. I will admit that maybe cozy mysteries just aren’t a good match for me anymore, but I wouldn’t recommend this one.
