summary: the title says it all? two spinsters—one wealthy, one a rector’s daughter—have to solve a mystery in Regency England.

thoughts: the mystery is pretty good—classic cozy historical mystery shenanigans; we love to see it. however. however!! this should have been gay!!!!!! I can’t emphasize enough. with a title like “Two Spinsters and a Corpse” sapphic Regency shenanigans is inherently implied?? so please explain to my why in the final chapter of this novel one of the heroines professes interest in MARRYING HER COUSIN. you’re telling me we get incest and NO GAYS???????? shameful.

the mystery was still good though.

What a fun murder mystery. In Two Spinsters and a Corpse, we’ll find out if they can solve the mystery in time. What a fun read.
