Pomona Afton Can So Solve a Murder: A Novel by Bellamy Rose
5.0
✨ARC Review✨ Y’all. I enjoyed the heck out of this mystery.
Pomona Afton is in her late 20’s and is living the life that being an heiress provides her. That is to say she’s taking private jets and hopping her way across Europe, attending galas, living in her family’s fancy hotel, being a snotty brat, and literally never thinking about anyone else.
And then her highly unliked, but feared grandmother is murdered. She’s put a clause in her will that if she dies by unnatural causes, no one inherits anything until the murderer is caught.
Pom and her family are kicked out of the hotel with only a bag each. Pom calls her former nanny who is basically the only person to ever be warm and kind to her. Luckily for Pom, Andrea has a son who needs a roommate. I think you know this son is handsome and smart and calls Pom on her shit.
He also encourages her to investigate her grandmother’s murder, so she can get her life back and also so his mom can get the retirement money she was promised. So away they go with their amateur but effective investigation!
I read this described as Goosip Girl meets Veronica Mars. I mean, kinda. Pom isn’t nearly as cynical as VM. I loved her growth throughout the book and yes, there are definitely a couple of things you just have to suspend your disbelief for. It’s all good. The story is worth it.
I received this eARC from #netgalley and @atriabooks. All thoughts are mine alone.
