A Classic Case of Murder by Daryl Wood Gerber (NetGalley ARC, pub 11/24) ⭐⭐⭐ The setting and the details were festive and set the scene nicely, but I found the story cluttered with an excess of characters who were hard to keep track of, and it made the story hard to follow and left me unfocused. Perhaps if I had read earlier books in the series it would have been easier for me to understand but it felt a bit overstuffed. I enjoyed the Dickens quotes to open each chapter and the recipes at the end! Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for the ARC.
