A review by yeppenny
Rest Ye Murdered Gentlemen by Vicki Delany

2.5

Great concept, mediocre execution. The concept of a year-round Christmas town certainly brings the “cozy” to “cozy mystery”. Lots of effort is put towards creating the holly jolly ambience of a Christmas town, but in contrast, be prepared for townsfolk who are surprisingly mean spirited and full of attitude, even the MC at times.

The biggest letdown is that this book is not of the best written quality. For example, the dialogue is flat, frequently in the following format:

“___,” she said.

“___,” he said.

“___,” she said.
