annarella 's review for:

Murder at the Wedding by Helena Dixon
5.0

There are some books that you cannot put down and you read really fast, I got this one the afternoon of day X. Day X at midnight I was at 60% and, after some mundane things like working/sleeping/eating, I finished it.
It was a very satisfying reading experience, I thoroughly enjoyed it and had a lot fun as it's engrossing and highly entertaining.
This is the best in this excellent series so far but I can only assume that the next one will even be better (and can't wait to read it)
It's a complex story, full of twists and red herrings. The author did an excellent job in using some of the Golden Age tropes: the country house, the possible haunting, the limited number of suspects, the secrets.
I couldn't put it down as I wanted to know who-did-it and why. The solution was not totally unexpected but I would have never guessed the motive.
I was happy to catch up with Kitty and Matt. They're clever people able to put together the clues.
Ms Dixon is a very good storyteller, the historical background is vivid and the characters are fleshed out.
I can't wait to read the next instalment.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
