I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

What a fun, caper-filled murder mystery. I didn't expect this book to be so absurdly silly, but it really leans into that particular aspect of British humor--and I found it delightful. On the other hand, some of the plot elements feel particularly violent/traumatic/intense in a way that doesn't totally fit the rest of the book, but it wasn't enough to detract from my reading experience. The characters are all fun additions to the story, but I particularly enjoyed the chemistry between Beatrice and Inspector Vivek Drake; I look forward to seeing that develop in subsequent installments.
