Jumped into the series with this book so I am probably missing some context but without it this was a fun listen and a respite from the more stressful novels I’ve been reading

Another great instalment in this series with main characters being Stephens and Mephisto by author Elly Griffiths.
A good investigation into the death of a man that was not very kind or lovable and who, throughout the years, has been accused of doing some terrible things.
The story is quite interesting as we have now Emma as a private investigator, trying to absolve the wife who is the prime suspect in this murder inquiry. In the same time we have her husband conducting the official investigation and it is nice to see them working together to find out the truth.
The political side of the book, with working moms and the woman's place in society, although it is appreciated as a mention, it was not something I am ever looking into reading when I pick up a murder investigation.
A great book and a really good mystery as it will have you try to guess till the end who the killer is.
A big thank you to NetGalley and Mariner Books for allowing me to read this great book!

A great, quick mystery. Well-developed characters and plot set in an interesting time period.
I’ve never been to Britain, but Griffiths’ writing makes me feel like I’m there.
This is the first book in their series I’ve read, and while I definitely felt I was missing some things, this book can also stand alone.

Very slow, couldn’t get engaged with the story.
An OK storyline with a flat reveal. The characters weren't exactly likable or memorable, the character reactions to the multiple affairs and murders seemed to be "oh well" and the assortment of jobs and names was daft. I won't continue with this series.
