Good Mourning, Darling

This surprised me really pleasantly. It was well-written and Ella and Eugene had an excellent dynamic and excellent chemistry. I joked that this was a mafia romance in its core and, as per the author's acknowledgements section, this is by the design. I think when it started leaning into this more is when my interest also sort of started dwindling and I started feeling like the novel dragged a bit.

The prose was competent and seemed well put-together, but sometimes both it and the plot seemed a little too straightforward - so definitely a romance novel over anything else. Still very much worth it as a cosy read.
