geeknb 's review for:

Except the Dying by Maureen Jennings
4.0

The first of the Murdoch Mysteries. I've not read any other books by this author or watched the show.
I liked this. The historical details seemed spot on. The mystery was engaging and I waxed and waned several times about who the murderer was.
There's a tiny bit of LGBTQ content with one character being gay but it is only implied for a long time and then talked around as gossip.
The character of Murdoch was engaging, although he was somewhat inept when finally trying to arrest the BG.
Would I read more of the series? Yes, but I won't be rushing out to buy them.
