Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. ( ) Best friends and flatmates in 1910 Toronto Merinda Herringford and Jem Watts launch a consulting detective business. Their first major case is investigating the deaths of young Irish woman. Helped by Jasper Forth, a police detective constable, and Ray DeLuca, a reporter. An enjoyable introduction to this series, with a good selection of differing characters. I enjoyed the setting of this book: early 1900s, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was intriguing learning about this time period in Canada, since historical fiction I read is set in the US. I had never heard of the terms "Morality Squad" or "Bachelor Girls." I found it interesting to learn a bit of history through this book. I found this an enjoyable read, and I enjoy the graphic art at the start of each chapter. If you enjoy history, and mysteries, you will enjoy The Bachelor Girl's Guide to Murder. Jemima to Merinda– "You have the worst manners of anyone I have ever met." Couldn't have said it better myself. For the most part, I enjoyed following Jem and Merinda on their Toronto escapades. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

In 1910 Toronto, while other bachelor girls perfect their domestic skills and find husbands, two friends perfect their sleuthing skills and find a murderer. Inspired by their fascination with all things Sherlock Holmes, best friends and flatmates Merinda and Jem launch a consulting detective business. The deaths of young Irish women lead Merinda and Jem deeper into the mire of the city's underbelly, where the high hopes of those dreaming to make a new life in Canada are met with prejudice and squalor. While searching for answers, donning disguises, and sneaking around where no proper ladies would ever go, they pair with Jasper Forth, a police constable, and Ray DeLuca, a reporter in whom Jem takes a more than professional interest. Merinda could well be Toronto's premiere consulting detective, and Jem may just find a way to put her bachelor girlhood behind her forever--if they can stay alive long enough to do so.
