A review by dfmaiwat
The May Queen Murders by Sarah Jude

2.0

Though I could enjoy this book a bit, there are quite a few problems I have with it. For one, the pacing is terrible. You wait for nearly half of the book for the first kill. But it never feels like there is any real weight to it. Secondly, the speech really annoyed me. This book takes place in Missouri but the dialogue isn't anything like how Missourians speak-at least not in this decade. Lastly we get into spoiler territory, I'll try not give too much away though. There is a would be kill where the victim survives; completely unrealistic. And the ending turns into Murder on the Orient Express, I'm still confused as to what really went down. Overall, I was just not a fan.
