The Bachelor Girl's Guide to Murder

I received this book from the author/publisher for the purpose of this review. All comments and opinions are entirely my own.

In The Bachelor Girl's Guide to Murder, the readers are thrown into a world of fun suspense and mystery very similar to that of Sherlock Holmes. It is set in the early 1900s in Canada and is a light read however containing enough suspense to keep you reading.

The characters are all charming in their own unique ways as well as extremely likable. Readers who enjoyed Nancy Drew or Trixie Belden as young girls are certain to enjoy these women detectives who seem to always jump headlong into trouble. Their interesting disguises and witty conversations are sure to entertain the readers to the point of laughing out loud.

The storyline is quite engaging and mysterious though I can't say that it was unpredictable. There were a few parts surprising yes, however the main plot was fairly easy to figure out; though this made it more fun to read because we could focus more on the characters rather than the plot. It is also completely clean, save a few mentions of “the opposite sex” or “scandalous clothing” (which is referring to women prancing around in trousers or skirts that reveal the ankles).

Overall, I immensely enjoyed The Bachelor Girl's Guide to Murder and look forward to more books in the coming series. I give it 5 out of 5 stars.
