Short, amusing, murdery. A good chuckle for those who frequent the mystery genre. I believe this is what they call a coffee-table book

I love a good British Murder mystery show so reading this fun quick book was a no-brainer. Highly recommend this for lovers of Midsomer Murders, Murdoch Mysteries, or any number of British murder mystery shows with villages with abnormally high crime rates 🔪

 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.
