" I'm not sure why I'm reading these. I do like the characters for the most part, and the coffee and historical tangents are actually interesting to me. But Clare attracting every man around is getting kind of old, as is me figuring out the murderer halfway through the book. So, three stars because I like the setting and characters and enjoy the stories while I'm reading them even though they don't really deserve more than two stars for quality. "
