This Week’s Reads:
Marion Lane and the Midnight Murder by T.A. Willberg
Note: I received this book as an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
From the title, Marion and the Midnight Murder, one would expect a cozy murder mystery. However, what you received a was a novel that wasn’t quite sure how to classify itself. Set in 1950s, this detective novel tells the story of a (literal) underground detective agency in England that fills in the holes where the police cannot.
The story itself is excellent, but then it goes off of the rails when it incorporates steampunk-like devices and potentially Harry Potter tools, with moving doors and disappearing tunnels. It made it hard to tell what this author really wanted this book to be. Was it supposed to have magically elements? Were they just building machines that were just advanced?
I was left with a story I enjoyed, but confused about what the author wanted me to think and not in a good way.
