In the Beginning, There Was a Murder by P.C. James was such a cute mystery. The plot was well crafted and the I could visualize the scenery of 1950’s England. The characters are nicely executed, especially in their interactions. I cannot wait to read more books in this series.

***** I received an ARC from NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my honest review. *****

I really loved this book. It's my first read by author P.C. James, but it won't be my last. I look forward to the continuation of the series. I'm a big fan of historical fiction and mysteries that are set in England, so this was the perfect book for me. It is set approximately eight years after World War II. The mystery is good and entertaining, and the author has created well developed characters that are interesting and I quickly became invested in. Count me as a big fan.
