The Murder of Mr. Wickham

Claudia Gray has shown a mastery of the Christe style murder mystery in The Murder of Mr. Wickham. The twists and turns kept me guessing while the world building was done in a way that kept me wildly entertained. There was just enough of the time period in the writing to make it interesting and open the door to other regency novels, especially the respective novels of our characters.

Almost everyone staying in the house had a reason to want Mr. Wickham dead, betrayal, death, debt, people have been killed for much less and the only way to solve this murder is to have the two people who had no reason to want Mr Wickham dead be the ones to do it.

Putting together these fantastic characters in one story was a brilliant idea, one I for one enjoyed every moment of, I loved that our main characters were two teenagers that may never have met if not for the party they had both been invited to. While they both had their own quirks, they found companionship (and hopefully more if there's a sequel) and were able to look outside the box while solving the murder of the dastardly Mr. Wickham.

Juliet and Thomas are amazing characters, well rounded and interesting, able to keep you involved in the story, the way they moved between the suspects was masterful and kept me guessing to the very end, and that ending was fantastic, I was at the verge of tears until that very last twist and oh what a twist it was.
