A review by theeclecticbookkeeper
The Socialite's Guide to Murder by S.K. Golden
4.0
This book has the vibe of "Only Murders In The Building" BUT set in the 50's.
Bought this book through Aardvark book subscription! I'll start by saying, I think this book is probably going for be hit or miss with most people (but who am I to predict how others will feel!) Overall, this was the lighthearted palette cleanser I needed.
Yes, this is a murder mystery book, but it keeps it pretty PG. This is not my normal go-to for books but overall I really enjoyed it! Sometimes I just need a nice *clean* story after all of the dark and disturbing books that normally land on my shelf..lol.
So, why not 5 stars? The MC got on my nerves a little bit. She has a very distinctive rich girl personality that made me roll my eyes occasionally, but I also didn't hate her. She could be quite charming at points.
Long story short: if you are sometime who NEEDS your mystery books to be dark as night and gory...this is not going to be for you. BUT if you are looking for a fun and light hearted murder mystery (with a little bit of romance thrown in) pick this up!
I am looking forward to book #2!
