I love GM Malliet and was very curious about this new series as I love her style of writing, humour, and characters.
This is a mystery but it's also a satire of the world of mystery writer. It's very funny reading Augusta's musing about the life of a bestseller writer and how her creative process works.
The mystery is well plot even if a bit slow at times. This is the first in a series so there's the introduction of the character and of the setting.
Even if I prefer her books set in UK this was compelling and highly entertaining and I can't wait to read the next.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
