3.5

 May Day by Jess Lourey is a unique blend of humor, action, and mystery. As Mira navigates her way through a jobless phase and a house-sitting gig in rural Battle Lake, Michigan, the story unfolds with small-town humor, a charming bookish setting, and a murder mystery that will keep you on your toes.

The small-town humor in May Day resonated with me. The little details, so true of small towns and their inhabitants, had me in stitches. Mira's quick transition from jobless to a library and newspaper position, all because of her English degree, is a delightful reflection of small-town life. It’s a fun and relatable.

The mystery in May Day was a delightful puzzle. I was kept guessing until the very end, only figuring out the culprit when it was revealed. The unexpected twists and turns added to the intrigue, making this a fast and enjoyable read. 

May Day is the perfect companion for a rainy afternoon. Its light-hearted humor and engaging mystery make for a relaxing and enjoyable read, allowing you to escape into the world of Battle Lake, Michigan, effortlessly.
