I really thought I would like this book more. I almost gave up on it a few times because I wasn't a big fan of Zofia (the amateur sleuth), and there were wayyyy too many unnecessary descriptions and details. And I am a details person! I am glad I finished it, but it was not my favorite cozy mystery.
I had a lot of fun reading this story and it made me discover a new to me writer.
I loved the mix of mystery and comedy of manners, the social commentary and the vivid descriptions of the setting.
It was an excellent read and I strongly recommend it.
Many thanks to the publisher and Edelweiss for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

After ready two weighty books on the experiences of women in Korea and Japan, I desperately needed something that was more like my usual fare. Thankfully, my hold on Mrs. Mohr Goes Missing, by Maryla Szymiczkowa, came in. This novel—perfectly and fluidly translated by Antonia Lloyd-Jones—whisked me away to Kraków in 1893. Mrs. Zofia Turbotyńska is a status conscious upper class woman who busies herself with organizing charities and cultivating relationships with the city’s aristocracy. I should have been annoyed at Zofia’s social climbing, but I couldn’t. I loved watching her solve a series of crimes that no one else could and wake up to the knowledge that there’s more to life than trying to reach the top of the social heap...
