This is brilliant! A proper great murder mystery with more twists, turns, suspects and questions than anything! Edna is a gorgeous main character and I loved all of her strange family! This gave me proper Knives Out vibes. It’s funny and charming; I hope there’s more! I just loved it!

I was thrilled to be gifted an ARC of Alex T Smith's new book- Murder! By Narwhal! As a parent and teacher, Alex's books have always been a go-to, and he is definitely an auto-buy children's author for me! This was a different genre it still had all of the quirky characters (Love Mrs Crumpet and Gappy!) and fun writing style that I have come to expect. I love how Alex writes for children but adds entertainment and hidden jokes for the adult readers too.
Murder! By Narwhal! is a 'locked door'/ 'whodoneit'/'and then there was one' mystery but for children! I loved it! I was hooked from the start, trying to follow the twists and turns and of course the detailed clues that were dropped along the way. I was fully invested in helping Edna to crack the case and was still guessing at the end.
Thank you #netgalley for the ARC
