sorry im just hung up on the fact that the author obviously realized he was making up a bunch of murder mystery date scenarios for his puzzle book and decided to lean into it. with the online version of murdle every time you get a puzzle right you get treated to little vignette of irratino and logico going to the movies or getting coffee or whatever and even then i was like “haha thats nice, it could be a date but that’s probably not what was intended”, meanwhile i crack open this book and they end a mystery cuddling for warmth. i didn’t expect a romance novel coming in.
