Reviews with content warning for Murder - Murder at Spindle Manor

TW for a few gory monster descriptions.

But otherwise, a fairly cozy murder mystery. The murder case wasn't as interesting as the monster case.

The ending was exactly what I wanted:

I love Evie and Penny and Izzie, and can't wait to follow them on more adventures. Penny is a smart girl! Evie's comedic comments are pure gold.

A cozy mystery in a dark, gaslamp fantasy setting. Very funny, with some spooky moments, and an enjoyable unraveling of a mystery. There were a couple awkward wording choices and one of two references that pulled me out of the story a bit, but overall this was a blast. I’m excited to read the rest of the series - cool setting, fun characters, and a solid story.
