Murder at the Brightwell: A Review

Book 1

                                                     
Um... I know people have loved this, but I just can't with this novel.Made it to page 223 before the DNF goddess that I am just had to throw it aside.

This is meant to be historical, but VERY few details make the reader aware of that (the cover and chapter one saying 1932).

Misogyny. Infidelity. A wife who just "accepts" what her gorgeous husband does as he galavants all around the world cheating on her. Of course she just CAN'T help but let him into her bed eventually after he basically tells her to just give into it and "don't think". BARF.

This mystery began to piss me off and I honestly don't care who did it. I didn't even flip to the end to see who the murderer was. I own book 2 and will not be reading it because I am certain Milo is in it.

I gave it 2 stars and not 1 because for some time in the beginning, I enjoyed the story and had a laugh or two. 

Overall, I cannot recommend this.
