annarella 's review for:

Murder Most Actual by Alexis Hall
4.0

3,5* rounded to 4
First thing first: this is a weird cozy mystery as one of the pillar of the genre is "no strong language" and there's a lot of strong language (I don't care but I know that the aficionado of the genre do)
That said I had fun and think that the author could start a series as it was quite entertaining and the mystery was solid.
It's slow burning and the first part it's a long introduction to the MCs, their wedding issues, and the other characters. The second part is fast paced and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
That said I found the wedding issues part a bit boring even if I appreciated the humour and the banters.
Not the best book by this author but there's a lot of potential.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
