Very funny, 10/10 humor. If you find Maureen Johnson's tweets funny (and like, why wouldn't you), then you will love Your Guide to Not Getting Murdered in a Quaint English Village.

It's a fairly quick read, as it's not too long and it's filled with lovely art. I really like the writing style; it reminds me of Lemony Snicket in a lot of ways (but again, this book is very Maureen Johnson, through and through).

There were several lines I wrote down because I liked the way they sounded, or I wanted to use them as poem inspiration, stuff like that. It's also a book that rewards you for paying closer attention—some names were referenced at one point, and I almost didn't scroll back to see who they were, but the joke was even funnier once I did.

The ending is FANTASTIC. I wasn't sure how a book like this could have a good ending, but it was entirely satisfying.

And for readers who love any book that begins with a map: this book begins with a map.

Once again, Your Guide to Not Getting Murdered in a Quaint English Village is delightful and perfectly funny. I devoured it in a single day and I'm sure you'll do the same.

Thank you to Netgalley, Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press, and Maureen Johnson for the chance to review this ARC.
