Delightful parody of every English countryside murder mystery trope

5 stars

Presented as a guidebook to a village that has them all. Written wonderfully tongue-in-cheek, illustrated like something out of Edward Gorey's Gashlycrumb Tinies. A short, quick read. Funny if you're slightly familiar with the genre, more so if you've seen every trope in the book. (Cross-posted at my website)

Review of 'Your Guide to Not Getting Murdered in a Quaint English Village' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

Words try to be funny (but they're mostly not funny). Illustrations try to be Gorey-esque (but they're never as good as [a:Gorey|21578|Edward Gorey|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1200338278p2/21578.jpg]). The incident with the stamp was the best bit. Overall, far below my expectations.
