A Most Agreeable Murder by Julia Seales
I was pleasantly surprised by this book.
Although romance is not the typical genre that I enjoy, I decided to give this a chance simply because of how much I liked the cover. The mystery is incredibly engrossing, which led me to choose reading over sleep for the first time in quite a while. I desperately had to know what happened next, and found myself struggling to guess at who the true culprit was.
I did predict a few things, and figured out the murderer at the same time as Beatrice, but I think that just made the book all the more enjoyable (just like how Beatrice enjoys following along with murder mysteries in the newspaper).

But despite growing up with these values, despite these rules having been ingrained in her mind since childhood, Beatrice Steele harbored a dark secret: She was obsessed with murder.
