Rupert hosts his 30th birthday party at McDonalds, an ironic place for the titled and posh partygoers to celebrate and sip champagne. But the next morning his girlfriend Clemmie is found murdered, her body dumped in a park. Detective Caius Beauchamp is tasked with solving the murder, and he has a plethora of suspects. The investigation becomes a mess of aristocrats, social media, and who knows who. Caius has to untangle the mess of how the other half lives so solve the case before it is wretched from his hands.
Thank you @netgalley, @vintageanchorbooks, and @vassellcharlotte for the ARC! I love a good whodunnit and this definitely delivered! This book was so charmingly British and I really enjoyed it. It definitely had lots of humor throughout and was a great satire on the British class system. This book was clever, witty, and complex, but still a fun mystery that left the reader wanting to tie up all of the loose ends. The cast of characters were very diverse and well written. I really hope this becomes a series and would love to hear more from Caius and his team! The Other Half will be published in the US on November 21!
