A Christmas Carol Murder

More of a 3.5 but rounded to 3

This is Book 3 in the Dickens of a Crime Mystery Series. I haven't read either of the first 2 books but, despite references to the earlier books, it didn't make this difficult to read.

What made this one difficult to read was the pace. It has a cozy mystery feel to it but with absolutely no thrill or action. It was slow from beginning to end. The mystery itself was pushed along by a lot of conversing which after pages and pages can become a bit tedious to read.

I really enjoyed the fact that this is a historical mystery series with Charles Dickens as the MC. I also loved the references to the actual book A Christmas Carol. That being said I don't think I will go back and read the first 2 books as this one didn't capture my interest.

I appreciate NetGalley gifting this E-Book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone.
