This book was distinctly odd. Maybe it's a 'thing' I don't know about, a genre I don't usually read … I just don't know. I probably won't read more in the series. 📚

The Thin Woman (The Ellie Haskell Mysteries Book 1) by Dorothy Cannell:

Ellie Simons stands to inherit her Uncle Merlin’s huge English country house. But on three utterly bizarre conditions. One: she must lose 63 pounds (rude!). Two: she must marry the fake fiancé she’s been passing off as her true love all weekend. And three: she must catch whoever killed Uncle Merlin in the first place.
