Review: A Book Of Murder by Victoria Dowd - ARC

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Smart women wangle an invite to crime-fiction powerhouse Anthony Lovell’s latest book launch, a weekend-long bash at his private island home. They’re ready for an evening of wining, dining, and hobnobbing with the literati. But the trouble is never far behind where the Smart women are concerned. Late that night, Ursula is awakened by blood-curdling screams. Anthony’s been poisoned. By the same rare — and potentially deadly — fugu fillet that was the highlight of the evening feast. One of the guests is a murderer. But who? As the courtroom drama unfolds, and the Smart women are called in as witnesses, Ursula’s convinced there’s more to this murder than meets the eye.

I was so excited about this book when I read the description. I was like 'Oh my god, this will be a fantastic Agatha Cristie-esque book' but sadly the excitement fell short for me. I had a hard time making it through the first few chapters. I thought this book was a snoozer from the start and I could never fully get into the story.
