Not my cup of tea (or coffee in my case)
Thanks to LibraryThing and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for this ARC for my honest review.
You can't judge a book by it's cover that's for sure! Loved the cover but the book was translated from German to English and I think a lot of it got lost in translation for me. It was a murder mystery and Auntie Poldi may have been 60 but to me she seemed much older, maybe in her 70s. Maybe it was the way she acted; can't really put my finger on it. It was just an ok read for me.
I know a lot of people enjoyed this book and reviewed it much higher but I couldn't do it. When I won it from LIbraryThing I was expecting a lot more. The other characters were okay to me and took a nice role in the book.
