The author was trying too hard to be funny. Still a good book and I enjoyed it. I just don’t think it’s as funny as she was hoping it would be.

I really really enjoyed this book. I have never heard of this kind of story before - a crime, but also Bridgerton vibes 😆
The beginning was a bit slow, that's why I only give it 4,25 stars. I don't know if felt like fhe first third of the book was just to build up the plot and I'm not sure everything was necessary for the story.
But otherwise I really liked it - once the murderer happened I couldn't stop. There were also some funny parts, which made me like it even more.

Jane Austen and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had a baby...
If you are a fan of Jane Austen, you will enjoy all the easter eggs in this one. Or so I'm told, I only caught a few because I'm not widely read on Austen. This is a low-stakes, fun to read, palate cleanser type of book. I laughed out loud multiple times, especially when they talked about Mary. I was also intrigued by the mystery plot. The entire thing definitely kept me engaged and was just delightful.
I would recommend this book to anyone looking for something a little cozy and on the lighter side. It was a wonderful option as an audiobook since you didn't have to be so zoned in to enjoy it. I loved being able to listen to it and do chores at the same time.

Took a long time for me to get into this. A lot of characters introduced to the start and had a hard time following all of the details until things started to get exciting.
