Thank you for the EArc NetGalley & Ten Speed Press. This was adorable. The illustrations were beautiful and there were a ton of interesting little details in each one. I laughed out loud a couple of times and I loved how it took me away to another place. I highly recommend reading this in bed on a rainy day with a good cup of tea. The only problem is it leaves you wanting more! Wonderfully done! #YourGuidetoNotGettingMurderedinaQuaintEnglishVillage #NetGalley

Maureen Johnson peels off the quaint cover that hides the murderous truth of visiting the English village. You have seen the BBC TV shows and want to visit a village yourself. Take Johnson's advice and stay far, far away so that you can keep reading and watching your favorite shows. Jay Cooper provides the illustrations of the locations, inhabitants, and scenes that Johnson sketches so quickly. I just wish that the duo would have ventured forth into the fields around the village and manor to visit the farmlands. A fun, quick read appropriately illustrated!

Thanks Netgalley for the chance to read this title!

This darling little book made me laugh out loud! It poked fun at all of the usual tropes of British murder mysteries in the most charmingly tongue-in-cheek way. Those illustrations just made it even more perfect and amusing. I showed our library director the blurb for the book on NetGalley, and she already has an order card filled out for it! I can't wait to see what the finished product looks like.

A delightful and witty read with clever illustrations. Would make a good gift for a cozy mystery reader.

This light, humorous book pokes fun at the conventions of cozy mysteries set in English villages. It's very reminiscent of Edward Gorey, but somewhat lacks his dark wit. The illustrations and text are amusing enough and the book short enough to justify the quick read, but it's a little too lightweight to be enduring.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.
