Maureen Johnson, Jay Cooper: Your Guide to Not Getting Murdered in a Quaint English Village (Hardcover, 2021, Ten Speed Press) 4 stars

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)
