A Most Agreeable Murder by Julia Seales, 338 pages
A Most Agreeable Murder tells the tale of Beatrice Steel, a woman obsessed with justice by way of solving murders, a hobby that would get her and all her loved ones banished from respectable society forever. When a high-profile eligible bachelor is murdered at the autumnal ball, can Beatrice uncover the murderer without revealing her morbid interests to all of Swampshire?
This novel reads like Seth Grahame-Smith got possessed by the ghosts of Jane Austen and Agatha Christie. At the end, I wanted more, like a Dickensian orphan begging for gruel. I am going to buy it, because I know I'll be revisiting it.
