Thank you Victory Editing and Netgalley for providing me with this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!
A Most Efficient Murder truly was a cozy mystery and a classic whodunnit. It also gave me major Agatha Christie vibes, which I really appreciate.
I really enjoyed the author’s writing style and the pace of the book overall. It had an element of humor to it too, which added to the coziness and the enjoyability. The different characters were also very tasteful and provided multiple facets to the story. None of the characters felt shallow, useless, or incomplete.
The overall plot was very intriguing and captivating. I found myself eager to know what’s going to happen next, who committed the murder, and how it all played out. I love that there were so many elements in the story that tied in together very nicely. I did, however, have an inkling of what’s going to happen, but I didn’t guess it entirely. My inkling didn’t take away from my enjoyment because, as mentioned, there are so many elements to the story that just make it all the more interesting.
Overall, I’m very pleased with the book and I’m eager to see where this series goes!
