The Murder Mystery by Alice Castle
4.0

I've been reading cozy mystery for ages and was curious to read this series. i discovered it was printed some years ago but I think it aged well.
Beth is an interesting character: witty, down to the earth, very different from Dulwich social butterflies. i like how she's a women who must work, pay for her credit card. She hope for the better future for her child and her first day at the local top school could help.
Thinks never works in the proper way and she finds her boss killed.
This is the start of Beth's career as amateur sleuth and I had fun following her investigations.
This is a humorous cozy and there's plenty of funny moment even if the mystery is solid and kept me guessing.
I liked the well developed and relatable characters and the witty and sharp social remarks by Beth.
It's the good start for a cosy series and I recommend it.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
