Absence of Mallets

The small-town vibe really made the mystery feel intimate and personal. I'm curious if the author based it on a real place or crafted it from imagination.

The characters added so much warmth to the story, but I wonder if their backstories will be explored more deeply in future books or if they’re just for flavor.

The book kept me laughing at times but also kept me guessing. I’d love to know what led to the decision to blend these tones so seamlessly.
