3.5 stars rounding up.
This book should have been a fun, kitschy romp. I enjoyed the premise tremendously – a 1920’s themed murder mystery weekend in a remote, haunted country manor as the scene of a real murder. It sounds like a lot of fun! And in a lot of ways it was. But I needed more kitsch. If that’s the direction you’re going, then by all means, go all in! Unfortunately, the actual mystery was rather mundane. It delivered wronged wife emotional drama when I really needed comedy.
Thank you, NetGalley, Jilly Gagnon, and Bantam Books for the early copy of this book.
