4.5
Well, well, I'm impressed.
Charming, witty, funny and so darn good - this was a delightful reading/listening experience. At times, I was giggling at some of the wry, candid observations.
This novel has an adorable cast of characters, with interesting personalities and skills, which, when combined, become a formidable force of sly detective work.
This is one of the most enjoyable reads of this year, a fun ride.
I hope Osman has more fun books in him because we all need more humourous novels to read.

Well, geez, I just got through thanking you for not adding to my list after reading your Night Circus review, Bianca! Now look what you've gone and done :D I'm going to be needing something "charming, witty and funny", so why not this?!

Now look what you've gone and done :D I'm going to be needing something "charmi..."It's so nice to come across a book that makes me smile. I read way too many "serious" books. I hope people who saw me doing my daily walks didn't think me crazy, because I was giggling while listening to the audiobook.
This sounds like a book I need right now. I just requested it and the wait will be long since I'm #90 on the list! Wonderful review Bianca!
How wonderful to read a sly detective story that has so many delightful elements! Great find, Bianca.

I had both the audiobook and the paperback on hold, luckily the audiobook came in first. :-) It was such a breath of fresh air, I enjoyed it very much. If you don't mind British accents, the narrator was wonderful.

Bianca...wonderful review! Glad to know you were giggling while taking this fun ride!💕😍
You sold me! Sounds so good! Great review!
I loved this one too. You're so right; charming, witty, funny, enjoyable. I need more.
Sounds like a good one! Great review, Bianca

Elyse wrote: "I enjoyed your happy with you and then I had a little chuckle with what Candi wrote ( me too!!)... 💕":-) I don't come across many books that make me smile, so I'm always grateful when someone tickles my funny bone. :-)
Debbie wrote: "You sold me! Sounds so good! Great review!"I thought it was good, so British in a good way. I hope you enjoy it, too.
Diane wrote: "I loved this one too. You're so right; charming, witty, funny, enjoyable. I need more."I remember your review, and a few others', which prompted me to check it out for myself. I'm glad I did. I believe it's harder to write a humorous book than a sad one.
Jen wrote: "Sounds like a good one! Great review, Bianca"I thought so, I was pleasantly surprised.
Even the title is delightful! I'll definitely have to check this one out! Thanks for the great review!
Jennifer wrote: "Even the title is delightful! I'll definitely have to check this one out! Thanks for the great review!"I hope you'll enjoy it! I usually stay away from anything with "murder" in the title, but was convinced to try it by others' enthusiastic reviews.
Huh! I have never heard of this author or book, but now you've peaked my interest. You're right, we need more humour and levity, now more than ever!
Robin wrote: "Huh! I have never heard of this author or book, but now you've peaked my interest. You're right, we need more humour and levity, now more than ever!"It's his first novel. He's a British comedian, presenter, producer etc. - obviously, a talented guy. So, do try it if you need a break from serious reads.
Oh this sounds interesting, not a book I’d have picked normally so thanks for the great review!

I can't wait to read this one. I bought it for my mum and after she reads it I can borrow it.
Your enjoyment of this is popping off my phone ! Great review, Bianca.

Angela M wrote: "Your enjoyment of this is popping off my phone ! Great review, Bianca."Thanks, Angela. I can't wait for the sequel, I think it's being published in September.
I couldn't agree with your closing comment more Bianca - it's great to read something that brings joy to the reader! I like your comment about 'not being able to laugh easily'.....I dont get that impression!!! Great write up - oh, have you read any others in the series?
