This was a fairly cozy mystery with several unlikable characters who were thrust upon the reader all at once. It took me a while to remember who everyone was, but I enjoyed the story and the alternating POV between two main characters. I loved the idea of the Snoop app, probably because I enjoy seeing what my friends are currently listening to on Spotify.I read this book in two sittings and while it wasn't wildly original, it was enjoyable.
