Hi everyone. Well, another book review. This one is Murder Most Haunted by Emma Mason. I love this book. It is just a delight to read. It’s actually a cozy, which is unusual for me to read, yes, but it’s not unheard of. And I got to tell you, the sense of humor throughout this book is just so much fun. Just makes the reading so much fun.
The character, the main character is such a literal person, but there are things going on that get revealed as time goes on. And there is also an ensemble cast of characters stranded, isolated, so to speak, in this remote location, having put up with each other and people dying, that sort of thing. It’s just hysterically funny sometimes, really. I just found myself laughing out loud at parts. But it’s a wonderful, wonderful book. Funny, keeps you guessing. Definitely plot twists, in-jokes almost in this.
It’s just a great deal of fun. It’s one of the funniest and most suspenseful at the same time mysteries I’ve read in a while. And I really, really loved it. And it would make a great television show. It really, really would. Although it’d be a shame, a lot of the main character’s dialogue, which is her thoughts sometimes are so funny. Midge is the main character. And anyway, her thoughts can be so funny. It’s a shame that they would probably have to be eliminated unless you can work in a few voiceovers here and there. They should be allowed here and there. I know people tell me I overuse voiceover, but I like it. It’s one of those hardboiled mystery things, right?
So, well, anyway, this is not a hardboiled mystery, but it is great fun to read and an excellent book, so I highly recommend it. It would also make a great TV show. That’s my opinion. All right. I’ll be seeing you. Talk to you later.
You can get the book from any of these retailers.
You can also get it from Bookshop.org and support indie bookstores.
