funny lighthearted mysterious

5.0

Genuinely fun and silly mystery that lies somewhere between The Princess Bride and Clue (1985). Beatrice has fully won me over and I love Swampshire in all its chaotic decorum. This is fully a farce but it's searing in its critique of women's roles in conservative societies like the Regency.

I called many but not all twists in the mystery and loved the eventual reveal. Absolutely favorite read of the year so far! Cannot wait for book two???
