A review by daniellersalaz
Of Manners and Murder by Anastasia Hastings

4.0

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my review.

Of Manners and Murder is a charming mystery set in Victorian England. Violet is a woman ahead of her time, reading annd studying and refusing to let social norms constrain her. Her sister Sephora just wants to find a proper match and to focus on fashion and frivolity. Though they don’t see eye to eye, both girls get pulled into the mystery of a suspicious death until Violet puts all the pieces together.

This isn’t weighty, deeply meaningful writing that will stick with you and answer life’s greatest questions, but it’s enjoyable and a welcome diversion from reality. I would certainly read future adventures of Violet Manville.
