Hay puntos un poco previsibles, pero otros han conseguido despistarme y se agradece en una novela de este tipo.
Me alegro de no haber abandonado, ha sido divertido.

Our fearless heroine, Beatrice Steele, navigates her love of solving true crime while trying to also adhere to the comically strict social expectations of a proper lady in her native Swampshire in this Regency-era tale complete with inclement weather of eyeball-sized hail, dangerous squelch holes, luminescent frogs leaping across the moors, more secrets than rooms in a country mansion, a rakish Wickham character with a good heart, a wonderfully batty spinster, a leering and malodorous rich cousin, a possible (probable) werewolf, and the blandes- I mean, most agreeable, eligible young bachelor of ten thousand a year. Ten thousand what? Mary may never know.
Fans of both Jane Austen and Agatha Christie will catch numerous references throughout this “loving pastiche,” as the author puts it, that made me laugh out loud multiple times.
Excellent, excellent, want to read more by this author. No dragons, yes werewolf.
