The May Queen Murders by Sarah Jude

4.0

Really really fantastic mystery book, full of twists & turns that were utterly compelling & unexpected! Although I was able to work out one of the 'big moments' reasonably early on, I was still kept guessing about it, and there were secrets far bigger to be unravelled. However, I felt that the treatment of Birch Markle & the descriptives of him coupled with his role was very ableist and problematic. Slight issue with the plot in that I'm still unsure why Heather had the letters both to & from her; also, the character of Ivy felt rushed in her development at times. However, overall, an exquisitely written novel full of intrigue, suspense and unexpected twists!
