 Words try to be funny (mostly not funny). Illustrations try to be Gorey-esque (always not Gorey-esque). The incident with the stamp was the best bit. Overall, far below my expectations.

Still confused if this is actual nonfiction or not, but such a fun read! Especially if you are a fan of Maureen Johnson or murder mysteries, or both! It also has many "fun" illustrations.

It is a guide to murder villages- so there will be mentions and illustrations of blood, knives, guns, and some gore. Mainly caricatures rather than realistic drawings.
