A review by catreynolds28
A Most Agreeable Murder by Julia Seales

lighthearted slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

I really wanted to like this book but it was too campy for me - from the navy guy exclusively speaking in sea-faring terms to Daniel almost exclusively communicating in rhymes it wasn’t for me. The cast of characters was almost identical to pride and prejudice, one of the sisters was even named Mary, and anything pride and prejudice adjacent without explicitly pointing that out irks me. It was lighthearted, maybe I’m just a snob.
