A review by jonelley64
Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte

3.0

This book is completely fine as long as you don't think too hard about it. It's 300+ pages of fun diversion, including a pretty silly Perry Mason-esque reveal toward the end. My main criticisms are (1) the chapter titles in the table of contents kind of gave away the ending, and (2) the book would be a lot more fun if it didn't take itself so seriously. I think this universe has the potential to be the setting for a lot of other stories, so it'll be interesting to see whether the author revisits it in spinoffs/sequels. I am highly intrigued by Eonia in particular, which we barely got to see.
