4.5* and an early Merry Christmas to me!

Now I am a cosy mystery reader through and through but to date haven't found a contemporary one that has worked for me. With Miss Beeton's Murder Agency I'm so happy to say that's changed.

This series opener (I mean, how can it not be a series!) has all the hallmarks of my favourite cosy historical mysteries - it's a fun read with a trusted canine companion, a found family with a motley crew of trusted sidekicks and of course, an initially reluctant yet attractive male character who quickly comes round to become a potential love interest and sleuthing partner. Along with a solid mystery this has all made for a winning combination and I can safely say already that I want more.

If you love cosy mysteries that have a small element of peril and plenty of shenanigans and subterfuge all whilst being led by an amiable amateur sleuth then this will be right up your alley too!

Thank you to HQ and Netgalley for inviting me to read an eArc of "Miss Beeton's Murder Agency" in exchange for my honest and voluntary review.
