Do you remember How Not to Murder Your Ex? Bad Girls´ Detective Agency sounds familiar? If yes, I am happy to share a good news with you: the girls are back. Katie Marsh´s latest, Murder on the Menu is out and it has a riddle for you to solve. If you are just new to the book, it doesn´t matter because the book can also be read as a stand alone but most probably you will be tempted to get to know the girls better.
The ladies won this time a holiday to a remote island. So remote that if the weather is bad and...surprise...a crime is committed, it takes around 12 hours to the police to reach the place. Although decided to have a good time and enjoy an exquisite menu offered by chef Valerie herself, they will end up switching too soon to full detective mood. What else could they do when not one, but three corpses are in their way in less than few hours.
I couldn´t leave the book down until the end, trying to play with different suppositions that were as changing as the weather conditions outside the fancy island resort. As in the case of the other book from the series I´ve read, I appreciated at what extent personal details about the characters do balance well the story, so we can get to know the characters better and even have our own opinions about them. The three main women characters are bubbling and smart, each their individuality but completing each other.
If you are looking for a whodunnit with an unexpected twist, Murder on the Menu is your perfect companion. Just keep in mind to cancel everything you scheduled for the next four hours because it seems almost impossible to abandon the book otherwise.
Rating: 4 stars
