amandareid 's review for:
Black Cats and Butlers
by Janine Beacham
I feel bad telling y'all how much I loved this book since it's only available in the UK (although BookDepository can help you out on the cheap), but I HAVE to tell you how much I loved this book!
First of all, teen detectives are my jam, especially female teen detectives who are just trying to LIVE and be their true selves instead of sitting at home doing needlepoint. Rose Raventhorpe lives during the Victorian era in the great northern city of Yorke (BONUS: it's not in London), and finds herself in the middle of a secret society of "specially trained" butlers when her own beloved butler winds up dead. Who's killing butlers across Yorke? And why??
Have I mentioned how Loyal Butlers is another favorite trope of mine?
This book is genuinely clever, full of heart, and very easy to consume in one sitting. I already have the sequel on its way to me from the UK, and I've sent my niece a copy for her 10th birthday.
